BREAKING NEWS: Former GOP presidential candidate Herman Cain has died of COVID-19, according to the Daily Mail.

His death occurred several weeks after he attended a Donald Trump rally while not wearing a mask. After testing positive for the virus, 74-year-old Cain was being treated in an Atlanta hospital where he eventually passed away. Cain was at high-risk of dying from the virus because of his age. He is also a cancer survivor.

He tweeted a photo of himself in the stands at Trump’s Tulsa rally with the caption, “Here’s just a few of the #BlackVoicesForTrump at tonight’s rally! Having a fantastic time!”

Cain had traveled to multiple cities in June–his staff is unsure where he contracted the virus.
