Massachusetts officials say a man in his 80s who lived in Suffolk County has died from "COVID-19 related illness."

The state's Department of Public Health said the man had been hospitalized and had "pre-existing health conditions that put him at higher risk for COVID-19."

“I extend my heartfelt sympathies to the family and friends who lost their loved one,” Gov. Charlie Baker said in a statement. “We are living in uncertain and challenging times, and our administration is bringing every available resource to bear in the fight against this disease, and remind everyone in our Commonwealth to continue to work together, follow social distance protocols and look after each other to keep our communities safe.”
