The state of Ohio may have tallied its first death in the Coronavirus global pandemic. At the state’s daily press conference Thursday, Public Health Director Dr. Amy Acton confirmed that her department was aware of the death of a 76-year-old man in Maumee.
Mark Wagoner Sr. died Wednesday, a local TV station reported. His son is the Republican Party chairman in Lucas County (home of Toledo), and said the following on Facebook:
“Our Dad was diagnosed with presumptive COVID-19, although the final test results have not yet arrived. We have been working closely with the Lucas County Health Department and other entities over the last week to ensure that proper notice to those who may have been impacted was being provided. Our Dad would’ve wanted us to be looking out for others even as he was fighting for his life.”
