A man whose wife fought UPMC in court to have his COVID-19 infection treated with ivermectin has died.

Keith Smith’s death on Sunday came one week after he received his first dose of the drug.

A York County judge did not force UPMC to treat Smith with ivermectin but did allow his wife to bring in an independent physician to administer it.
