When COVID-19 Kills A Drunk

A big-time drinker in Montezuma County, Colorado, recently got so drunk they died.

The person’s blood-alcohol content (BAC) was 0.55 — not 0.05, but .55, which is nearly seven times the legal driving limit of 0.08 in Colorado.
A BAC of 0.3 is considered lethal.
So, open and shut case, right? Wrong.

The state claims the person died of coronavirus, not alcohol poisoning.
“County Coroner George Deavers said the person tested positive for COVID-19, but an investigation by him and the pathologist determined the cause of death was ethanol toxicity,” The Durango Herald wrote. “‘COVID was not listed on the death certificate as the cause of death. I disagree with the state for listing it as a COVID death, and will be discussing it with them this week,'” Deavers said.
