Kim Porter, a model and actress, passed away on November 15, 2018, at the age of 47. Her cause of death was identified as lobar pneumonia, a type of lung infection. She had been suffering from flu-like symptoms for days before her death and had complained of a sore throat which developed into a fever of 102 degrees. She had tested negative for influenza and strep and was being treated with antibiotics, vitamins, and a painkiller in the week of her death. An autopsy was completed on Porter a day after she was found dead, but her death certificate previously stated her cause of death as “deferred” until it was later determined that she died of lobar pneumonia. The manner of death was certified as natural.
