So...Roy Horn died - of Covid-19, (so they say)

Why would you question this? He was tested and the test was positive.

Well, think about it. He was nearly mauled to death, he had several strokes & many health issues as a result.
And many people are testing positive of Covid-19 & not getting sick. It doesn't say he was sick; it only says he tested positive. That doesn't mean he died of it.
I worked for a Home Health Agency for 3 years. Our nurses were required to have a yearly TB test. Many tested positive. None were sick; the test only means they were exposed to TB at one time. Most of us would test positive for all kinds of things that won't kill us or make us sick - unless we're almost dead to begin with.

He was mauled in 2003. On April 28 his representative announced that Roy had tested positive to COVID-19 and was responding well to treatment.
Ten days later Mr. Horn was dead. Despite health challenges he survived for 17 years after the mauling, but couldn't make it two weeks after testing positive with this virus.

Sorry, @win231, despite your recurring insistence that the reaction to this virus is way overblown, one doesn't need to be Sherlock Holmes to figure out the likely cause of death.

Per your link, win231, "passed away in Las Vegas on Friday from complications related to COVID-19, his rep confirmed." So, it may have been pneumonia, blood clot, or something else that was triggered by the virus. The key words were "complications related to Covid-19."

Any life-threatening injury cuts a life span short by causing other complications that will leave someone in a very fragile condition where anything will cause death. I've had disabled friends who died in their 30's, 40's & 50's who were wheelchair bound. The lack of movement & the many medications they had to take is what shortened their lives; not whatever illness they had at the time. Roy Horn could barely walk or stand. That leads to circulation issues, blood clots & the need for blood thinners & other drugs. Plus, he was 75.

It's fine by me if you want to keep telling yourself this.
 
How sad! I was fortunate enough to see one of their shows back in the late 1990's. It was terrific and our entire party thought it was a five-star experience.

I second the RIP for Roy. A great entertainer.

So,...he needs your permission to think for himself, and come to his own conclusion ?

Do you ever consider that someone else just might have a rational conclusion , that differs from yours?...and just let it go at that?
