CO man dies from astounding 0.55 blood alcohol level, coronavirus listed as
cause of death

  The Colorado Department of Health and Environment is [8]listing
  coronavirus as cause of death of a Colorado man despite the county
  coroner ruling that he died of ethanol toxicity with an astounding 0.55
  blood-alcohol level.

  A blood-alcohol level of 0.3 is generally considered fatal.

  Although the unidentified man tested positive for coronavirus, County
  Coroner George Deavers said he disagreed with the state's assessment
  after his investigation with a pathologist revealed that the man's
  blood-alcohol content was nearly seven times the legal driving limit of
  0.08.

    "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
    Tuesday.

  As of Monday, the Montezuma County Public Health Department reports
  just two COVID-19 deaths, whereas the state department lists three
  deaths caused by the virus. A spokesperson for the department explained
  the difference in the reports.

    "The person who died did not die from COVID-19, but they did test
    positive for the virus," the spokesperson said. "The state is
    reporting that death as a COVID death, but our health department
    wanted to let people know that even though the person did have the
    virus, they did not die from it."
