When the individuals that brought the deceased to the hospital were questioned, they said that no symptoms of COVID-19 had been noticed from the deceased before. They had discovered the deceased collapsed in his living quarters.

HPA said that since the individual had tested positive after passing away, the death would not be treated as a COVID-19 related death.

The cause of death would be identified after an autopsy was conducted.
