Julia Alexander said to reporters from The Post that Larry had died from coronavirus complications, however, Shawn said this wasn’t true. He died from sepsis rather than COVID. According to Shawn, Larry didn’t want to die but his “sweet little body” was slowly succumbing to all of the illnesses he has had over the years.

While he was resilient, Shawn says when she and her family members heard the word, COVID-19, from the doctors, their hearts sunk because they realized it was unlikely he would make it out alive.

Regarding their divorce, Shawn explained how she and Larry never finalized it. It seemed as though she and the notorious broadcaster would stay together forever because they were partners in everything.

Shawn went on to say that she learned how death was “maybe the great equalizer,” because once someone passes away who is close to everyone, all of the drama and other “noise” kind of just fades away in the background as if it was really never that important.
