HAPPY VALLEY, Ore. (AP) — An autopsy has determined that the death of a 2-year-old Happy Valley, Ore., boy stemmed from an initial strep infection.
Deputy Oregon State Medical Examiner Dr. Christopher Young tells The Oregonian that the boy apparently contracted a strep infection that developed into bacterial pneumonia and sepsis.
Young calls it an unusual outcome for such an infection.
The boy’s parents took him to Providence Milwaukie Hospital, where he died Sunday.
