Postmortem multiorgan biopsies in 10 patients who died with SARS COV-2 infection were performed after oral authorisation of a first-degree relative. In this report, we describe the histopathology of lung damage in COVID-19 with DAD in all lung samples, associated with medium size arterial thrombosis in four cases, and the presence of viral RNA in all organs.
