It will be counted as a COVID-19 death I'm sure.

https://archive.ph/wip/bxIxF :
'Don Scott, the mayor of the Regional Municipality of Wood Buffalo, confirmed the fatality during a news conference Wednesday morning. '
'The Wood Buffalo region has recorded a death related to spring flooding that has forced thousands of people from their homes in and around Fort McMurray, Alta. '
'Longtime Fort McMurray resident Meghan MacDonald was one of thousands who fled the city during the fire. '
'People in Fort McMurray have already been through so much and their anxiety is growing, MacDonald said. '
'But officials with the Regional Municipality of Wood Buffalo said it remains a critical situation. '
This has been an automated message.

"He said many people have lost their homes for a second time, first to the fire and now to the flood.
"It's really disheartening. People have built brand-new homes in Waterways and Draper and now, this morning, those homes are gone, they're gone again," he said."
