According to TMZ, the 62-year-old actor did an interview with YouTuber Brandon Jay days before his untimely passing and on the video clip, Lister is seen wearing a mask and exhibited alleged symptoms of the virus which included labored breathing. Friends and relatives told the media outlet that they were worried about the actor because he had fallen seriously ill for a week and his conditions were worsening by the day.
Lister said he was eager to take the COVID-19 vaccine after he saw on the news that former Presidents Barack Obama, George W. Bush, and Bill Clinton volunteered to take the vaccine to ease the public’s concerns. He also wanted to take the shot so he could continue working on films and had a shoot scheduled for this week but canceled due to his ailments.
