The coroner’s office has identified the woman as Kathy Lee.

RIP KATHY LEE (February 4, 1980 – November 18, 2021)

Formal pronouncement of death was made on Thursday at 2:14 p.m.

Laënnec cirrhosis is primarily caused by excessive and chronic alcohol consumption.

We do not know if the decedent was injected with synthetic mRNA. She was found dead inside her apartment on Mariposa Avenue in Koreatown.

A few case reports of autoimmune hepatitis–like liver injury have been reported after injection with synthetic mRNA.

The researchers in this one study published in June 2022 identified 87 patients (63%, female), median age 48 (range: 18–79) years at presentation. Liver injury was diagnosed a median 15 (range: 3–65) days after vaccination.

Fifty‐one cases (59%) were attributed to the Pfizer‐BioNTech (BNT162b2) vaccine, 20 (23%) cases to the Oxford‐AstraZeneca (ChAdOX1 nCoV‐19) vaccine and 16 (18%) cases to the Moderna (mRNA‐1273) vaccine.

The liver injury was predominantly hepatocellular (84%) and 57% of patients showed features of immune‐mediated hepatitis.
