Experts believe that the pneumonia-caused death of a US Air Force Academy student who tragically died in her Colorado dorm room last month could have been prevented.
According to the El Paso County Coroner’s Office postmortem report, Avery Koonce, 19, of Tyler, Texas, passed away on September 4th due to complications from a serious lung infection.
Koonce died from “paeniclostridium sordelli sepsis complicating parainfluenza laryngotracheobronchitis.”
A rare but potentially fatal bacterial illness that developed as a result of a viral lung infection, according to the research.
According to medical professionals, this might have been resolved with prompt antibiotics and other simple measures.
