Pennsylvania commissioner accuses Shapiro of 'deceptive' measles death framing as RFK Jr blasts Dem governor
The coroner said the infant died of a ruptured spleen, not measles, as state officials labeled 2 county deaths measles-associated.
- Lancaster County Coroner Stephen Diamantoni confirmed Friday that an infant who tested positive for measles died from a ruptured spleen, not the virus itself.
- Governor Shapiro announced two "measles-associated" deaths on Tuesday, marking Pennsylvania's first such fatalities in 35 years amid a 460-case outbreak across 31 counties.
- Diamantoni's forensic pathologist found the spleen was neither enlarged nor inflamed, concluding the laceration was "not related to the measles" despite the infant's positive test.
- When asked why the state used "measles-associated," Diamantoni said, "I'm not sure why they would use that term," directing further questions to the governor's office.
- With 210 of the 460 statewide measles cases in Lancaster County, local leaders remain without answers on the second reported death, as the Department of Health has not shared information.
