A 34-year-old man has died in California after testing positive of coronavirus just days ago, and 2 weeks after visiting Walt Disney World and Universal Studios in Florida ... TMZ has learned.
Jeffrey Ghazarian from Glendora, CA, died Thursday morning at a Pasadena hospital after spending 5 days hooked up to a ventilator and battling for his life ... according to his family.
His sister says ... "He suffered a lot and put up a good fight. We will miss our Jeff everyday but we are thankful for all the fun happy memories of the times we had together."
Jeff's timeline regarding his COVID-19 infection is terrifying and should be eye-opening for people of all ages. According to his family, he flew from L.A. to Orlando on March 2 for a work conference, but stayed a few extra days to visit Disney World and Universal theme parks with friends.
We're told on March 7 he developed a cough, and the next day he coughed up blood. He flew back to LAX on March 9 ... and immediately went to the ER, where he also had a high fever.
The family says a chest x-ray confirmed Jeff had pneumonia, and he was tested for COVID-19 and sent home with fluids and antibiotics and instructed to self-quarantine until he got the results back.
We're told the results came back positive on March 13, and Jeff was provided a portable oxygen meter to keep an eye on his levels ... which took a turn for the worse that afternoon.
On March 14 he was taken by ambulance to the hospital and quickly transferred to the ICU when it was discovered his lungs were 60-70 percent blocked with pneumonia. Doctors decided the best path forward was to sedate and intubate, hoping a ventilator would help his lungs heal.
Sadly -- and despite the family claiming he was approved for antiviral meds -- he took a turn for the worse and never got the medication in time ... and passed away Thursday morning.
It appears Jeffrey was an at-risk patient. He had a history of asthma and frequent bronchitis as a child, though he outgrew that. He also had beat testicular cancer back in 2016.
The CDC now says young people can also be at grave risk ... and this underscores the danger.
He was 34.
RIP
Wow! Chicom Beer Flu is spread by cartoon rats? I’m doomed!
and...ten paragraphs in....UNDERLYING HEALTH CONDITIONS!
The media just sucks.
TMZ is in it for nothing other than click bait. The 21st century version of The Enquirer
It appears Jeffrey was an at-risk patient. He had a history of asthma and frequent bronchitis as a child,...
It’s sad.
But it was much more scary before that last line of the story.
More scare mongering

Yeah, article should have been headlined: "Cancer survivor - still on cystostatika which depress immune response - dies from Corona."
Regards,
So he infected everyone on the plane and airport.
“We’re told on March 7 he developed a cough, and the next day he coughed up blood. He flew back to LAX on March 9...”
99% of the deaths in Italy have been connected to the patient having one or more pre-existing medical conditions.
He flew home to LAX on 9 March
While he was sick
Who knows how many he infected
Some (maybe even me if I get this) will not survive the Kung Flu fighting.
As long as your perfectly healthy, you have nothing to worry about.
Or so they say.
Keep up your good work~!
Best Regards, George.
That’s the part this article should have been giving details about: the airline and flight number info could save lives here.
yeah notice how they fail to put that lil tidbit in the headline
25 million people in the US have asthma. That doesn’t count people who had it as children and grew out of it.
60 percent of American adults have underlying health conditions.
Your comment is idiotic.
Good point re airline.
Heres a previously healthy 20 year old killed by the virus in Spain.
