Man dies after falling 10 feet from a ladder. Doctors declare COVID-19 killed him.

A 51-year-old Croatian man is dead after falling from a 10-foot ladder — but medical experts at the Journal of Forensic Pathology reported that COVID-19 killed him.

According to a Thursday report from the New York Post, the man — a construction worker — fell from the ladder while working at a job site in Croatia. 

He was declared dead at the scene and was discovered with cuts and bruises to the head, but doctors performing an autopsy determined that COVID-19 caused the accident because "effects of the illness were disorienting."
