Rene Olivo
Rene Olivo, 42, was held at Cook County Jail in Chicago and was hospitalized from March 30, 2020 after contracting COVID-19. He died at Stroger Hospital on April 19, 2020. The Cook County Sheriff's office said the cause of death is pending autopsy, and no other account of the circumstances is in these sources. A second record from the Illinois Criminal Justice Information Authority lists a woman, age 42, who died at the jail the same day from pneumonia due to COVID-19, which the sheriff's office reported as natural causes. These sources do not establish whether the two records refer to the same person, and the sex and race recorded in the second are not confirmed for Mr. Olivo.
