The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment is investigating what could be the state’s first vaping-related death.

It likely will take at least six weeks for autopsy results to confirm whether the death of an 18-year-old man from the Denver area stemmed from the mysterious vaping-related illness that has been detected across the country, a department spokeswoman said.
