Second Measles-Linked Death Investigated in Lancaster County, Coroner Says

Lancaster County coroner Dr. Stephen Diamantoni says his office is investigating the death of a second child who died while infected with measles; the child’s age and other details were not released. Gov. Josh Shapiro had announced two measles-associated deaths in the county, but the state Department of Health declined to release demographics, noting privacy. ‘Measles-associated’ means there is laboratory or epidemiological evidence of measles, with the official cause of death still under investigation.
