A&M SOPHOMORE FIRST CURRENT STUDENT TO DIE FROM COVID-19
A sophomore at Texas A&M had died due to complications from COVID-19.
20-year-old Kirstyn Katherine Ahuero of Glen Rose, Texas, died last week in Bryan.
Ahuero was a biomedical science major at Texas A&M and had hopes of being a psychiatric nurse. According to her obituary, during the summer, she volunteered at the National Suicide Hotline.
According to reports, Ahuero is the first known current student at A&M to die of COVID-19.
As of Sept. 9, A&M’s COVID-19 Dashboard reported 1,577 active cases self-reported among university faculty, students and staff. This number was an increase of 948 active cases since Aug. 27, a 60 percent increase.
In lieu of flowers, her family is asking for donations to Mission 22, which is a nonprofit dedicated to helping veterans, service members, and their family members address post-traumatic stress, brain injuries, suicide prevention, and other matters.
Texas A&M University released a statement this weekend following her passing:
“The Aggie family mourns the passing of sophomore biomedical engineering student Kirstyn Katherine Ahuero. Her desire to become a psychiatric nurse was a true calling to serve those in greatest need. We ask all Aggies to come forward and honor this Aggie : “Here.”

did she have underlying conditions?
Is anyone asking the most important question: was she vaccinated?
More importantly, was she offered any of the medications that have been proven to treat this virus?
If she was, I’m sure it would have been mentioned.
