Grand County coroner says state is inflating COVID-19 death count

With the backing of county commissioners, the Grand County coroner wants to fight the way COVID-19 deaths are reported statewide.
Coroner Brenda Bock updated commissioners on Tuesday about her efforts to remove a murder-suicide from the state’s COVID-19 death count, which seems unlikely given officials’ response.
It’s grated on Bock that a Fraser couple’s death at the end of November has been included with the state’s COVID-19 death reporting, even though investigators determined the incident was a murder-suicide. The Fraser couple had tested positive for COVID-19 in the month before they died.
