RIP NAZARIO PEREZ HERRERA (June 12, 1978 – March 31, 2024)

Formal pronouncement of death was made on Sunday at 12:30 p.m.

The Department of Medical Examiner publicly disclosed the CoD ruling in early September, presumably after the results of tox screening had come back from the lab.

Human metapneumovirus (hMPV) is a respiratory virus that can cause symptoms similar to those of other respiratory infections, such as the common cold or influenza. It was first discovered in 2001 and is known to cause illness primarily in children, older adults, and people with weakened immune systems.
