  • Diamond from the conservative commentary duo Diamond and Silk died earlier this month.

  • At a memorial service on Saturday, her sister suggested it was somehow related to the COVID-19 vaccine.

  • An autopsy reviewed by the AP found that she died of heart disease due to chronic high blood pressure.

Lynette "Diamond" Hardaway, one-half of the conservative political commentary duo Diamond and Silk, died of heart disease due to chronic high blood pressure, an autopsy reviewed by The Associated Press said.

The cause of Hardaway's death was not immediately clear after it was announced on January 8, and her sister Rochelle "Silk" Richardson denied rumors that she had died from COVID-19 complications, Insider previously reported.

"The World just lost a True Angel and Warrior Patriot for Freedom, Love, and Humanity! Diamond blazed a trail, founded on her passion and love for the entire race of humanity. In this time of grief, please respect the privacy of Diamond's family but remember and celebrate the gift that she gave us all! Memorial Ceremony to be announced soon," a Facebook post at the time read. 

On Saturday, during a live-streamed memorial service for her sister, Richardson suggested that the 51-year-old social media personality's death was linked to the COVID-19 vaccine. It's unclear if Hardaway had taken the COVID-19 vaccine but on Saturday Richardson suggested she may have been poisoned by it and floated the false notion that vaccinated people somehow pose a risk to the unvaccinated.

 

"Instead of asking if Americans are vaxxed or unvaxxed, the real question to ask is: Are Americans being poisoned?" Richardson said.

Former President Donald Trump, who has been vaccinated, also attended the memorial service.
