NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) â A grieving widow said a stranger requested her husbandâs death certificate, and she believes a scammer was trying to get up to $9,000 from FEMA in COVID-19 funeral assistance money.
Gary Woodward was a charge nurse at Ascension Saint Thomas West Hospital, and he died from COVID-19. His story was shared across the country, and his wife Jacque Woodward, wanted the community to remember his sacrifice.
Woodward said, Itâs almost been 5 months, and itâs still hard for us, we try to do everything we can to remember him, in so many ways, and move forward, and then you have something like this. itâs terrible.
Nashville Tennessean
A firefighter in Memphis. A nurse in Nashville. A trucker in Knoxville. A judge in Clarksville. More than 2,300 older folks in nursing homes and care facilities across the state. And a 6-year-old girl in Jackson, who fought to survive so much already, but could not survive this nightmare.
More than 10,000 Tennesseans have died from the coronavirus pandemic as of Wednesday, the latest grim milestone as the relentless virus stacks tragedy on tragedy amid the cruelest winter in a generation.
It took less than 11 months to reach this moment. The coronavirus was first detected in Tennessee on March 5, and it has since infected more than 10% of the state, killing faster and faster as it spread. It took approximately five months for the virus to kill the first 1,000 Tennesseans, then only four months to kill 4,000 more.
