While Yellow later tested positive for COVID-19, Deavers said his death had nothing to do with the coronavirus. “It wasn’t COVID, it was alcohol toxicity,” said Deavers, according to the [URL='https://denver.cbslocal.com/2020/05/14/coronavirus-montezuma-county-coroner-alcohol-poisoning-covid-death/']station[/URL].”Yes, he did have COVID but that is not what took his life.” [URL="https://www.foxnews.com/health/colorado-man-died-alcohol-poisoning-death-classified-coronavirus-report"]Colorado man died of alcohol poisoning, but death was later blamed on coronavirus: report[/URL] [/QUOTE]
