An autopsy was performed on Kurill’s body but the state Medical Examiner’s Office could not comment on the case due to privacy laws, according to KUTV.
Dr. Erik Christensen, Utah’s chief medical examiner, told the station that proving vaccine injury as a cause of death almost never happens.
“Did the vaccine cause this? I think that would be very hard to demonstrate in autopsy,” he said.
Christensen said he could think of just one instance in which a vaccine could be listed as a cause of death on an autopsy report — an immediate case of anaphylaxis, a severe allergic reaction, where a person died almost instantaneously after being inoculated.
“Short of that, it would be difficult for us to definitively say this is the vaccine,” he said, adding that a more likely result would be a lack of answers — or an “incomplete autopsy.”
He added: “Just about every vaccine or anything you do treat someone, when you inject something, has a potential for a negative outcome.”
An autopsy also could identify a cause of death the family was unaware of, including undiagnosed pneumonia, cancer or an unknown heart condition.
