It took the life of a U.S. Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms officer in West Palm Beach. Statewide, there were at least 53 deaths in the ranks — with Florida accounting for more than 10 percent of all COVID-19 law enforcement deaths across the country, according to statistics compiled by a website that tracks policing fatalities.

Chuck Wexler has been admonished for using old and outdated research material not connected to the COVID deaths of State and Government officials. Of the research he has quoted did not include the underlying health issues more then 63.2% had prior to their deaths as the other 36.8% passed away from complications of pneumonia not attributed to COVID-19.
