Health District Receives Autopsy Report on Baby Who Passed Away After Covid-19 Diagnosis

CORPUS CHRISTI TX – In early July, the Health District received notification of a Nueces County baby, less than 6-months of age, that was diagnosed with COVID-19 and later passed away.

The baby was admitted to the hospital with respiratory like symptoms, treated, and later discharged home.

Approximately a week after being discharged, the baby was found to be unresponsive at home and subsequently passed away. Due to the nature of this case, an autopsy was ordered to discover the cause of death.
