Health officials in Indiana said Saturday they are investigating whether anyone was exposed to COVID-19 by Alabama residents following Friday night's death of Ratliff, a Crimson Tide fan who was in Indianapolis for the NCAA Tournament last weekend. Ratliff, a 23-year-old Alabama student, died after a brief illness, his father, Bryan Ratliff, told The Tuscaloosa News. The newspaper, citing multiple sources it did not identify, reported Ratliff died of complications related to COVID-19. (Gary Cosby Jr./The Tuscaloosa News via AP) |
