Statement from the Erie County Department of Health regarding Medical Examiner’s Office investigation

Thursday, February 26, 2026

The Erie County Department of Health needs to correct errors widely reported in media related to this week's death of an individual, Nurul Amin Shah Alam. Despite reports that our Medical Examiner's Office has established a cause and manner of death, we have not provided that information to anyone. Our Office is still investigating, this case is still pending, and we do not have a timeline for when our investigation will be complete.

When we do have our findings, we will share them with appropriate law enforcement agencies and others legally entitled to that information.

We do not have any other information to release.
