Larry King’s widow has revealed his cause of death, saying that it was not COVID-19 even though he had been hospitalized with it earlier this month.
The legendary broadcast and television personality died at 87 on Jan. 23 at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles. His widow, Shawn King, told “Entertainment Tonight” that while the family feared for his life after COVID-19 put him in the intensive-care unit, it was not the cause of death.
“It was an infection, it was sepsis,” she said. “Well, he was finally ready to go, I will tell you that. You know, he never wanted to go, but his sweet little body was just — it had just been hit so many times with so many things and once we heard the word COVID, all of our hearts just sunk.
