JUST IN: Cause of Death for Diamond of “Diamond and Silk” Duo Finally Revealed
American Tribune ^ | January 24, 2023 | Staff

Posted on 01/25/2023 6:08:19 AM PST by Red Badger

Diamond, one of the two sisters in the Diamond and Silk duo, passed away earlier this month and was recently mourned at a funeral that Silk claimed former President Donald Trump offered to pay for.

Now the facts have come out about from what Diamond died, with the AP reporting that heart disease was ruled the cause of death for Diamond. As that outlet reported:

Lynette Hardaway, a zealous supporter of former President Donald Trump whose death had prompted widespread speculation over its cause, died earlier this month of a heart condition, according to a death certificate obtained Monday by The Associated Press.

Known by the moniker “Diamond” of the conservative political commentary duo Diamond and Silk, Hardaway, 51, died Jan. 8 of heart disease due to chronic high blood pressure.

The AP also took pains to note that Covid-19 was not the cause of death for Diamond despite numerous online theories, saying:

The cause of Hardaway’s death, which was not released by the family, had become a topic of widespread speculation. A torrent of social media users suggested COVID-19 was to blame.

Many of the posts were based on an unsourced, and since-deleted, online report from November that claimed Hardaway had been hospitalized with COVID-19. Both Diamond and Silk vehemently denied that the virus had put Hardaway in the hospital.

COVID-19 was not listed as a cause or contributing factor on her death certificate, which was provided to the AP by the Hoke County Register of Deeds and was signed by a local doctor. No autopsy was performed.

Silk, describing Diamond’s death during her remarks at Diamond’s Fayetteville, NC funeral, said:

“As soon as Diamond hung up the phone, she said to me, ‘I can’t breathe.’ It was suddenly out of nowhere and no warning. I got her to the kitchen table, open up the back door so that she can get some air.

“And each breath was less and less and less, until her eyes became a stare. My husband and I followed the 911 instructions from the lady with the relator like they told us to lay our flat.

“They said ‘do CPR,’ and it was 123412341234 My husband and I alternated and kept going and going and going until the emergency truck payment came into the yard and the EMS came into the house. They did everything that they could.

No mention of her vaxx status, which I’m sure was intentional.

What are the chances that Silk has NOT considered the vaccine as a possible cause???

What are the chances that she has NOT been asked by fans or anyone about her vax status?

Why has Silk not even addressed this publicly?

She HAS called for an investigation as to why people are “dying suddenly”, but I do not understand why she won’t state the obvious.

A very bad joke and horribly timed by me so please forgive me... or not. It's a choice not a mandate.

I was thinking the other day that many are exhibiting the george floyd syndrome.

I'm laughing but this scares scares me the way people go so quickly.

Maybe we should carry with us Cayenne tincture.

I agree. Silk did not say one way r the other. People are reading things into her comment that are not proof of anything.

I guess if Silk gets tired of people speculating about the issue, she will tell us if Diamond was fake vaxxed.

" heart disease due to chronic high blood pressure"

really? not sure how you get this unless your logic process goes something like:

Cause of death __anything__ = COVID vaccine

‘I call it murder’: Silk revives anti-vax ‘shedding’ conspiracy while eulogizing Diamond

Silk used her eulogy to blame the COVID-19 vaccine for Diamond’s death. This was a bit surprising, as Diamond and Silk have spent much of the last few years railing against the COVID vaccine. If the vaccine was to blame, it would logically follow that Diamond must’ve taken it even as she criticized mandates and questioned its efficacy.

Silk explained this away by suggesting that the phenomenon in the anti-vaxxer world known as “shedding” caused Diamond’s untimely death. The fictional claim that vaccinated people can “shed” spike proteins and infect others with the vaccine has been circulating since at least 2021, when PolitiFact debunked it.

She also suggested that there’s a nefarious plot to kill off a bunch of people using the vaccine.

“Many call it a conspiracy theory. I call it murder,” Silk said.

When I die, the cause of death will be a heart attack when I discover my bedmates were mere sisters instead of triplets.
