MISSOURI, US (ANN): A first-time mother died of COVID-19 just four days after giving birth to a baby boy in Missouri in the United States.
JoEllen Engelbart, a 32-year-old assistant prosecutor for Jackson County, succumbed to the disease on Jan. 2, as per ABC affiliate KMBC on the same day.
Her and husband Matt’s first child, a son named Ross, was born three months premature. Engelbart’s brother, Larry Flanagan, later pointed out that she was unable to even hold baby Ross before she died.
“The fact that she never got to hold him is devastating,” he told Fox-affiliate WDAF.
