I also found the natural causes explanation for his death suspicious. After asking more questions from my cousin who has hospital connections, the deceased cousin was being treated for Covid with medication and oxygen last month. A week or so ago he went back to work and collapsed at work. Many of the Rednecks are in total denial that there is any need to protect themselves or others from the "fake news about Covid". I've heard a couple of them say "it's God's will if they live or die, so why worry?".
