Did Betty White Die After Getting a COVID-19 Booster? The 'Golden Girls' Star Cause of Death Revealed

Betty White's agent on Monday debunked the COVID-19 booster-related rumors surrounding the actress' death, reiterating that the "Golden Girls" star died of natural causes.

In a statement to Associated Press, Jeff Witjas, White's agent and close friend, debunked the rumors that the actress received a COVID-19 booster shot on December 28 and that her death may have been related to it.

There's also images shared on Twitter and Facebook containing a quote that read, "'Eat healthy and get all your vaccines. I just got boosted today.' - Betty White, Dec. 28th, 2021."

Addressing the false quote, White's agent noted that White did not receive a booster on December 28.

"People are saying her [Betty White] death was related to getting a booster shot three days earlier but that is not true. She died of natural causes," Witjas said, adding that her death should not be politicized.

"That is not the life she lived... Betty died peacefully in her sleep at her home," Witjas added.
