The first month of this year has been the deadliest one Dr. Brent Blue has seen in his time as Teton County coroner.
âItâs really pretty bizarre, actually,â Blue said. âThese were all unrelated. There werenât two deaths that were related.â
Of the 15 deaths reported in January, 12 were what Blue calls âunattended,â usually meaning it was an unexpected death outside the hospital.
The three other deaths were COVID-19 related, according to the Teton County Health Department.
But the dozen that were or are being investigated by the Teton County Coronerâs Office were not related to COVID-19, Blue said.
