Three Pennsylvania siblings who were found dead on the same day in October all died from COVID-19, the county coroner said this week.
Ruth Kinsey, 68, and brother Richard Kinsey, 70 were found on Oct. 25 inside a Daisytown-area home, about 70 miles east of Pittsburgh, while the body of Donald Kinsey, 62, was found in a camper on the property, The Tribune-Democrat reports
Cambria County Coroner Jeffrey Lees said Wednesday that the siblings all had underlying medical conditions.
“At the time of the deaths, it was odd that you have three individuals deceased within a short period of time in the same proximity to each other,” said Lees, noting that was the basis for ordering an autopsy, as well as toxicology and microbiology reports.
Ruling the deaths as natural, Lees said, “The forensic facts are what they are.”
It is unknown whether the siblings were vaccinated against the virus.
Cambria County as of Wednesday has fully vaccinated 66,801 residents, according to state-compiled data.
