A 90-year-old man whose death last week at Lambeth House in New Orleans was deemed by the retirement home to be “completely unrelated” to the deadly coronavirus cluster there has since tested positive, his daughter said Monday.
Lydia Buckley said she received the news in a phone call Monday morning from Dr. Alex Billioux, assistant state health secretary. Her father, Frank Williams, had died Friday, shortly after midnight, in his room on the third floor in St. Anna’s, the nursing care section of Lambeth House.
...
Williams is now among at least eight people, all men, to die over less than a week at the retirement community on Broadway near the Mississippi River from COVID-19, the disease caused by the novel coronavirus, which has been striking the elderly with particularly fatal force.
