There was no interstitial pulmonary fibrosis. Fibrin deposition is not the same as fibrosis.Hypoxia can cause a cardiac arrest.But the point is a person with a fever, coughing, etc., is not likely to try anything with a ladder.
Its a real stretch to claim covid caused the fall.
People with illnesses do some crazy things. Not the weirdest thing I’ve ever seen. What is 100% clear is that he didn’t die from trauma. To say it wasn’t related to COVID which he had a severe case of is a stretch.
The lung fibrosis indicated the covid-19 infection was past tense.
A conscious person can compensate for lung damage by breathing faster and harder.
It should not cause hypoxia in a conscious person.
And it should have been more noticeable to the person as he was carrying the ladder and setting it up, than climbing it.
With the micro blood clots covid can cause, it is not impossible, but not really appropriate for an autopsy conclusion.
Actually now that I read it more carefully, we don’t even know that he fell from a ladder. He was found on the ground below scaffolding.
People have limits. There’s only so hard and fast one can breath before the disease wins.
