A nursing home patient in Michigan with the coronavirus asked Alexa on an Amazon Echo device for help before she died, her sister says.
The medical examiner's office said Dagen's death was caused by diabetes, hypertension and COVID-19, the disease caused by the coronavirus, according to her sister, Penny."She was a very talented girl. She played the piano and the organ. She sang," Penny Dagen told NBC News."She was a ventriloquist. She played the guitar."
Pruitt said:"She could call her sister through the device, and they communicated often. It was a very positive part of her life, which we supported fully." Penny Dagen, who lives in Sparta, about 15 miles north of Grand Rapids, said she believes the nursing home could have taken preventive measures sooner to slow the spread of the virus, but she said she doesn't fault the facility.
