Southfield, Mitch. (Fox 2) – Earlier this week, Michigan’s chief medical executive, Dr. Jonegh Khaldu announced that the state is the youngest victim of 2-month-old COVID-19 who died this month. She did not elaborate further on the baby, saying only that the newborn “died from covid-19”.
According to reports from the Milwaukee County Medical Examiner, the baby died of gastrosis, a congenital defect in which the baby is born with intestines outside its body. The immediate cause of death was “complications caused by gastrosis,” the report said. Both necrotizing enterocolitis and Covid-19 are listed as other important conditions.
However, the Milwaukee County Medical Examiner summarized the findings with the statement: “This 2-month-old infant died from COVID-19.”
It is not clear whether the medical examiner indicated that the immediate cause of death was complications of gastrosis, but summarize that the child died from covid-19.
“She had GI symptoms of the disease, which exacerbated her severe congenital defects,” the report said.

Dr Khaldu announced the death of the 2-month-old baby on Wednesday, but did not identify the baby by name, gender or location.
“I am deeply saddened to hear of a 2-month-old baby in Michigan this week who was killed by Covid-19,” he said.
The baby’s mother recently posted in a deleted Facebook post that she was angry with the state, saying her baby had died of the virus.
“I’m angry. I’m so angry. If you heard the Michigan State report on Covid this morning, you would have heard that a 2-month-old baby was killed by COVID. [redacted] Kovid did not die. According to Ops Topsy (who told me by phone but not by mail yet), [redacted] It caused an intestinal perforation and an infection … This is directly related to his gastroenteritis.
