Actor Tommy 'Tiny' Lister tested positive for COVID-19 nearly four months before his death. According to People Magazine, Lister, who died at the age of 62 on Thursday after having exhibited "COVID symptoms" for a week, was diagnosed with the virus earlier this year, his manager Cindy Cowan told the outlet.

"He got a positive result back about four months ago and obviously recovered from that," she said. While at the time he suffered from difficulty breathing and fatigue, recently the actor had been doing "better than ever." "He kind of was one of those people that used the lockdown to work out and get in the best shape ever. He actually looked the best he's ever looked and I've never seen him more excited about what was coming next," said Cowan.
