Alan Komissaroff, the senior vice president at Fox News Media, recently passed away, aged 47, just two weeks after suffering a heart attack. Netizens have since taken to social media speculating that his death was from the Covid vaccine.

In a GoFundMe, Alan Komissaroff's wife, Rachael, revealed that she called 911, and he sadly died while paramedics were taking him to the hospital. The campaign revealed that he slipped into a coma and never woke up again.

Alan Komissaroff joined the news outlet in 1996 when it launched under the company name 21st Century Fox Corp. He worked his way to the top and oversaw the coverage of politics, including the network's busy Election Night reporting.

@simonateba Be like Africa, don’t take that shot
@simonateba When will Fox reporters start to investigate the vax? Or is the independent media still the only ones willing to do it?

Despite many concluding that Komissaroff died from the vaccine, Twitter user @ManInTennessee tweeted that the journalist had a history of heart problems. He reportedly suffered a heart attack in 2013, much before the Covid pandemic, and the vaccine for the same came into being.

@Dirty_Prune @BretBaier He has a history of heart trouble. He had a heart attack in 2013, long before the COVID shot.
