Baseball legend Hank Aaron died of natural causes, the Fulton County Medical Examiner's Office said, debunking rumors that his death was somehow related to the COVID-19 vaccine he received earlier in the month. The 86-year-old Hall of Famer was vaccinated on Jan. 5 as part of a campaign to encourage Black people to get their shots. He died in his sleep 18 days later, and anti-vaxxers pounced on the coincidence. But officials stressed that Aaron’s passing was completely unrelated to the vaccine. #InsideEdition
