Coroner: No certain cause of healthy teen’s death after Covid vaccine
April 2, 2024
A healthy 13-year-old who unexpectedly died 10 days after receiving a vaccination against Covid-19 had a “microscopic” amount of myocarditis in a crucial part of his heart. A coroner said the myocarditis – inflammation of the heart muscle – could have been caused by viruses found in the Wellington boy’s heart tissue, but due to the short period of time since his immunisation, the vaccine could not be ruled out as a possible cause. The coroner released a report into the teenager’s tragic death this morning, finding while the myocarditis caused his sudden death, he could not satisfactorily determine what caused the myocarditis. The boy, whose name and identifying details have been suppressed, died in October 2021.
