LANCASTER, Calif. (KABC) -- A COVID-19 patient allegedly beat a fellow patient to death inside Antelope Valley Hospital, officials say.

The gruesome murder happened the morning of Dec. 17. Investigators say a man in the COVID-19 unit beat his roommate, a man in his 80s, severely with an oxygen tank.

The victim died the day after the attack.

The two were strangers to each other. A motive for the attack is unclear.

Another COVID-19 related death... I think... er... OK, I'm not sure if that counts.
