A medical investigation is underway after a Dearborn County man died of complications from an unknown ailment.
University Hospital reports that 19-year-old Matthew “Skinny” McIntosh, of Moores Hill, Ind., died July 5.
The hospital reports that his sister, Melinda McIntosh, 26, remains in critical condition.
Kristine Spielmann, a friend who also became sick, was released from University Hospital on Tuesday.
Friends say all three may have possibly gotten sick after cleaning out a shed.
In a statement released by the hospital from the McIntosh family, it says:
“The outpouring of support and attention our son has generated over the past few days is truly overwhelming, and we thank everyone who has kept Matt and those involved in his care in their thoughts and prayers.“No one feels the loss more deeply than we do, however, we request that people refrain from participating in conjecture and rumor. We don’t yet know the causes of this terrible tragedy. We’re confident the doctors here will have those answers for us soon as they possibly can.”
A visitation and funeral for Matthew McIntosh are planned for later this week.
