Other common causes of illness have been ruled out as the primary cause.  A probable case is someone who recently used a vaping product, developed a breathing illness, and for whom specific testing has not been not performed to rule out infection OR for whom an infection was identified, but the clinical team believes this is not the only cause of the breathing illness.

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.
