OHMYGOSSIP — Tommy ‘Tiny’ Lister tested positive for coronavirus nearly four months before his death.
The Hollywood star passed away on Thursday (10.12.20), aged 62, after experiencing coronavirus-like symptoms in the days prior to his death, but his manager Cindy Cowan has now revealed that he was actually diagnosed with the virus earlier this year.
Cindy told People: “He got a positive result back about four months ago and obviously recovered from that.”
The late actor was doing “better than ever” before his death.
Cindy added: “He kind of was one of those people that used the lockdown to work out and get in the best shape ever.
“He actually looked the best he’s ever looked and I’ve never seen him more excited about what was coming next.”
However, shortly before his passing, the ‘Friday’ star began to feel unwell again.
Cindy recalled: “He thought maybe his diabetes was starting to kick up because he just wasn’t feeling right. He said, ‘I feel like I’m getting COVID again.’”
She now regrets not forcing the actor to get tested for the virus.
Cindy said: “It’s remarkable and truly heartbreaking. All of us are kicking ourselves that we didn’t force him [to get tested] earlier.”
A coronavirus vaccine has just been approved in the US and the actor was determined to be “one of the first ones” to receive it.
The late star was desperate to enjoy a relatively normal Christmas with his family after what had been a turbulent year.
Cindy shared: “He was looking forward to that and he thought he’d be one of the first in line because he was in his 60s and had a pre-existing condition.”
Speaking about the actor, she added: “He was an amazing man. He will definitely be missed.”
