Did you read the article, or just the title?
“When we heard the news of Jamain Stephens’ death, we as a community were devastated,” Brother Tony Baginski, FSC, Principal of Central Catholic, said in the Wednesday statement. “He was well loved by everyone in our community, and in an effort to get the news out about his death in a timely manner, we mistakenly attributed his death without official confirmation on cause of death. We had obtained the information about his passing from close friends of Jamain, who reached out to us with the news. We apologize for this error, and this information has since been removed from our Facebook announcement dated 9/8/2020. At this time, we do not have official confirmation on his cause of death.”
Sure, was it mistakenly attributed to Covid-19 without confirmation? Yes, have we had confirmation that it wasn't due to Covid-19? No because no cause of death has been confirmed. Come back when you have an article that confirms cause of death.
