A man who recently died after battling COVID-19 has been confirmed to a seat in the North Dakota state legislature.
David Andahl's family shared the announcement via his Facebook page, saying, "We are heartbroken, and we ask that he be remembered not by how he died, but by how he lived. David was a kind, caring man whose greatest joy was helping others. He gave generously of his time to his family, friends, neighbors and his community. He has been a public servant for many years and was looking forward to the opportunity to serve in the state legislature."
Andahl was 55 when he died on Oct. 5, less than a week after he was admitted to the hospital for coronavirus infection, NBC News shared.
Now it appears he has won election to the state House of Representatives.

Andahl remained on the ballot even after his death because early voting was already well underway, and the ballots could not be changed.
