It's certainly possible, but what would be even scarier is if his medical history didn't have any pre-existing conditions. That would point to either an incredibly poor reaction to the virus on his side (very low odds, even lower as a member of the government with good health care) or poor treatment at the hospital (making the wrong calls, administering poor treatments, etc).
Reporters can only release what is given (if they choose to do so, that is), so if the family or the reporters don't want you to know, then we're left in the dark.
He pretty much had to have some kind of pre-existing condition, though it's possible it was something he wasn't aware of. Healthy people don't just up and die from this when they get prompt medical care and hospitalization. In the early days of the pandemic, when physicians knew very little about the virus and its specific effects, it was different, and some people did die due to treatment decisions that made sense at the time, but were later discovered to have been absolutely wrong and dangerous. But I don't think there's any real possibility of that being what killed Letlow. He had access to very good care, and also a whole lot of people watching out for him and communicating directly with his wife, since he'd just been elected to Congress.
I agree, but it would be good for all of us if the family could divulge that information or at least make it clear that a pre-existing may have had influence over the death. Has anyone been able to reach out to them?
He probably got admitted really early because he hadone or more pre-existing conditions that put him at very high risk.
