(CNN)Dr. Harold Bornstein, President Donald Trump's former personal physician, has died at the age of 73.

Bornstein's death was announced on Thursday in a paid notice in The New York Times. The notice did not give a cause or say where he died, but said he passed away last Friday.

"A devoted husband and loving father, Dr. Bornstein is survived by his wife, Melissa (Brown), his daughter, Alix, and sons, Robyn Bornstein M.D., Joseph Bornstein M.D., Jeremee, and Jackson," the obituary reads. "Due to the ongoing pandemic, there will be a private service for family and friends."

Bornstein had served as Trump's physician for more than three decades, a position that thrust him into the national spotlight during and after the 2016 campaign, including when he claimed to CNN in 2018 that Trump dictated the doctor's glowing 2015 letter about the then-candidate's health.

2. Donald probably had him whacked.

Of course I’m being facetious, but you never know...

He knows too much.
