A 39-year-old mother in Utah with no known health problems died four days after receiving her second dose of Moderna’s coronavirus vaccine.
Kassidi Kurill of Ogden died on Feb. 5, according to a 2News report published this week based on the Centers for Disease Control’s Vaccine Adverse Effects Reporting System.
Kurill’s family held a memorial service in her honor last weekend in anticipation of the results of an autopsy.
“She was apparently healthy as a horse,” Kurill’s father, Alfred Hawley, told Fox News. “She had no known underlying conditions.”

Kurill received her second vaccination dose on February 1 and began complaining of headaches, nausea, and inability to urinate despite drinking fluids the next day.
Her condition improved somewhat on her second day after the vaccination, before she took a bad turn and Hawley took her to the hospital on Feb. 4.
“She came in early and said her heart was beating and she felt like she needed to go to the emergency room,” the father recalled to 2News.
When she arrived at the hospital, Kurill immediately started throwing up while doctors worked to find an explanation.
“They did a blood test and immediately came back and said she was very, very sick and her liver was not functioning,” Hawley said.
Kurill was airlifted Thursday evening to the Intermountain Medical Center in Murray, where doctors attempted to stabilize her for a liver transplant.
But her condition continued to deteriorate to the point that she could no longer speak on Friday morning because her heart and kidneys stopped.
‘She kept getting worse all day. And she passed by nine o’clock, ”Hawley said.
It was a total shock. I was even afraid to tell my wife. ‘

An autopsy is performed to determine the cause of Kurill’s sudden death. Lovers have set up a GoFundMe campaign to support her daughter Emilia (together above)

The family hopes an autopsy will provide answers to the mother’s shocking sudden death.
Hawley said he hopes his daughter’s experience won’t discourage others from getting vaccinated.
But he urged anyone who experiences symptoms after the vaccine to take them seriously.
If you have a reaction to it, don’t ignore it. Don’t be stoic and just say, “Oh, it’ll be fine,” he said.
‘Pay attention. If it lasts for more than a day, you may need to see a doctor. And make sure you’re not just another in a million. ‘
Deaths from coronavirus vaccines are extremely rare, according to the CDC’s Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System.
Of the more than 92 million doses administered in the US to date, fewer than 1,700 deaths have been reported.
“To date, VAERS has not detected any patterns of cause of death that would indicate a safety concern with COVID-19 vaccines,” the CDC website said.
