The family circle of a 20-year-old student who died after experiencing COVID-19 symptoms is now begging others to take the virus seriously. Bethany Nesbitt, a student at Grace College in Winona Lake, Indiana, was discovered dead on October 29 in her bedroom after presenting symptoms of COVID-19 for about 10 days and waiting for a verification result, according to a member of her family circle.
“The cause of death is pulmonary embolism, the result of a blood clot, widely identified as a non-unusual cause of death in patients with COVID-19,” tweeted his brother Stephen Nesbitt.
The third-year-old in psychology in Grand Ledge, Michigan, suffered from asthma and had in the past been taken to the emergency room. Doctors decided that Nesbitt probably had COVID-19, but this was not a serious case and she gave the impression that she was recovering.
Kosciusko County coroner Anthony Ciriello ruled Tuesday that his official cause of death was a blood clot, noting that “although COVID played a role in the contribution to death, it was not caused by COVID. “
His circle of relatives noted, however, that blood clots are “widely identified as one of the leading non-unusual causes of death in patients with COVID-19. “They are now encouraging others to “be incredibly cautious” as COVID-19 cases continue. Lift.
“Please do not assume that other young people may not be affected by this virus. Bethany was cautious. She was dressed in her mask. He was socially distant,” he said. “Please take this virus seriously. “
