A teacher in Florida died Friday while hospitalized with COVID-19 after an unsuccessful suit that would require the hospital to treat her with ivermectin.

Tamara Drock, 47, was admitted to Palm Beach Gardens Medical Center 12 weeks ago, according to her husband, Ryan Drock. Her husband filed a lawsuit against the hospital in October to force doctors to treat his wife with ivermectin, a treatment used for conditions induced by parasitic worms, he said.
