Jeffrey Smith won the court order to receive the life-saving Ivermectin for which attorney Ralph Lorigo and his team had fought at his wife's plea. It appeared that Jeffrey Smith would be another in the string of Lorigo's cases that received court-ordered Ivermectin and went on to enjoy a full recovery.

And soon after that, 51-year-old Jeffrey Smith's life ended.
