Grand County Coroner Raises Concern On Deaths Among COVID Cases. State Health Department: “If he has less than 20 bullet holes in him, it’s COVID.”

GRAND COUNTY, Colo. (CBS4) – The Grand County coroner is calling attention to the way the state health department is classifying some deaths. The coroner, Brenda Bock, says two of their five deaths related to COVID-19 were people who died of gunshot wounds.

Bock says because they tested positive for COVID-19 within the past 30 days, they were classified as “deaths among cases.”
