“””A spokeswoman for the family said that Downs did not have COVID-19, according to azfamily.com. “””””
I’m not sure why they needed to clear that up. When you are 99 years old a hangnail can be fatal.
I love it!
Sounds like Hugh’s family actually gets that the fake news media and many hospitals are fudging/inflating China Flu numbers....and, they don’t want anyone messing w/Hugh’s cause of death. Likely natural causes/age related.
RIP, Hugh....you had a great run.
Apropos of nothing.
You know how sometimes when you were a kid you didn’t always make connections? Or in this case, make differentiations?
I, for years didn’t realize Hugh Downs and Hugh Beaumont (from Leave It to Beaver) weren’t the same person.
I guess I subconsciously confused Tony DOW (who played Wally Cleaver) with the DOWNS name. And ran it all together in my little pea brain at the time.
