Too many people thing they are doing everything right and following protocols while not realizing that's not possible especially for those that live at home with other family members (e.g. teenagers, spouse) or work in an essential job.
Seriously, I remember a story on TV about a healthy guy, athletic, no underlying medical condition in his 30's that died from Covid-19 and he had small kids.
A very touching story with his family members (parents, spouse, siblings) saying they did everything right and he still became sick. They even showed a photo taken during a family reunion in the Pandemic with other relatives...
In the photo...everyone was smiling and either had their face masks on their neck, chin or holding the face mask in their hand while shoulder to shoulder for the photo...about 15 people with kids.
Yeah, sure...they did everything right and face masks don't work. A horrible way to remember him in their last photo together...while they think they followed all the protocols in a Pandemic.

LSU Health Shreveport Chancellor G.E. Ghali confirmed Letlow underwent an operation related to the virus and later went into cardiac arrest...

I've heard of people becoming sick from Covid-19 and later dying from pneumonia or surgery to help their breathing...
Its rare to die after going into cardiac arrest (to much pressure or fluid around the heart) unless his body was already in distress and he could not breath on his own (on ventilator) prior to the surgery.
Most likely the latter because he had been hospitalized since December 19th after testing positive on December 18th. That would then imply his health was deteriorating very fast...so fast that surgery was require to try to save his life as a last ditch effort.
His heart just couldn't take it any more.
I know the situation very well, my heart stopped twice in the hospital in 2016 when I had bacterial pneumonia and it became septic.

it's not a pure COVID death, it doesn't count. He died w/COVID, not of COVID
/sarcasm
Correct--it does look that way right now.
He likely had an undiagnosed heart condition.---Pretty simple---
Actually, a lot of people do not realize that a person can die from illnesses caused by Covid-19 such as pneumonia, organ failure, massive strokes and so on.
