The fiancé of an ESPN reporter who died earlier this week at the age of 34 said he was previously diagnosed with multifocal pneumonia and a rare disease known as HLH.
Edward Aschoff, a college football reporter, was first taken to the hospital and diagnosed with pneumonia in many parts of his lungs, according to his fianceé, Katy Berteau, in a series of Twitter posts. After the diagnosis, he was taken back to the emergency room, the antibiotic treatment failed, and his condition worsened, she said.
