A baby thought to have been the youngest ever to die of COVID-19 may not have been killed by the coronavirus after all.
Days after Connecticut officials last week announced that a six-week-old baby died after contracting coronavirus, the state’s medical examiner is not ready to say that COVID-19 was the cause of death.
Governor Ned Lamont on Wednesday said that the toddler who was rushed to intensive care at a Hartford hospital was the youngest fatality of COVID-19 ‘anywhere.’
As of Friday afternoon, the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner has yet to officially rule that the novel coronavirus was the cause of death.
The baby died on March 26 after being rushed to St. Francis Hospital and Medical Center.
Police initiated a preliminary investigation that found no signs of trauma on the toddler, according to the Hartford Courant.
The state has ordered all hospitals to test all patients who die during the pandemic, regardless of the manner of death.
A post-mortem test turned up a positive result for coronavirus, which is why Lamont and Bronin made their announcements.
But there are still pending toxicology reports as officials are leaving open the possibility that the toddler had an underlying condition such as sudden infant death syndrome or positional asphyxiation.
In light of the medical examiner’s inconclusive determination, Lamont and Connecticut State Epidemiologist Matthew Cartter appeared to walk back the suggestion that the infant’s death was a direct result of COVID-19.
‘We have our role. We have our job,’ Cartter said.
‘The medical examiner has his job.’
‘But we do know that that little baby tested positive,’ Lamont interjected.
The discrepancy can be explained by how COVID-19 cases are reported by the state.

This is some kind of sick obsession with these little tyrants competing for attention..
Do they test aborted babies, too?
what about all of those babies being killed by their mothers in womb because they don’t want to have to go through delivery during this time of corona?
A six-week-old “toddler”? Okay.
Sick beyond belief. Also sick because they are actively trying to unleash panic.
They’re desperate for comorbidity-free victims. It’s a bit like inducing labor on New Year’s Eve in order to claim the year’s first birth. (Have you ever noticed that those first-of-year babies are often named José or Guadalupe?)
Ignorant and poorly educated ‘journalist’ ... a six week old child is not a toddler yet.
The internist knows everything but does nothing. The Surgeon does everything but knows nothing. The Pathologist does everything and knows everything, but one day too late.
NO! THEY NEED BODY PARTS TO SELL.
a 6-week0old toddler? Kids was aging fast already.
The millions of babies dying during abortions? ALL Covid-19.(/S)
Check out a 6 hour infant in Albany GA. The CT governor does not know how to pull it off.
