Friday, September 4, 2026
Lancaster County Coroner Dr. Stephen Diamantoni confirmed the death of an infant from measles but stated he could not verify whether the case matched either of two measles deaths disputed by federal health officials. The coroner did not provide additional details about the infant's age, vaccination status, or timeline of illness. The confirmation comes amid ongoing measles cases in Pennsylvania.
