Comedic Actress Betty White died just weeks away from her 100th birthday due to “natural causes,” her agent confirmed this Monday.

“Betty died peacefully in her sleep at her home,” her agent and close friend Jeff Witjas said in a statement to People on Monday, shutting down rumors that White had received a COVID-19 booster shot on Dec 28.

“People are saying her death was related to getting a booster shot three days earlier, but that is not true,” Witjas said. “She died of natural causes. Her death should not be politicized—that is not the life she lived.”

White, an award-winning actress whose career spanned almost more than eight decades, starred in quite hit television, including “ The Golden Girls” and “The Mary Tyler Moore Show,” She died on Dec 31 at the age of 99 at her residence in California. Her 100th birthday would have been on Jan 17.

White never had any of her biological children, but the actress was stepmother to Ludden’s three children. According to Romper, the pair reportedly met after she appeared as a guest on the televised game show “Password,” where Ludden was the host. White previously told people that she felt “blessed” to take on the role of stepmother to Ludden’s children. On Jan 17, White’s milestone birthday, the documentary “Betty White: A celebration” will be screened nationwide. The film’s title was changed from “Betty White: Years Young-A birthday Celebration” after her death.

Producers Steve Boettcher and Mike Trinklein said in a statement, “Our hearts mourn today with the passing of Betty White.”

“During the many years we worked with her, we developed a great love and admiration for Betty as a person, and as an accomplished entertainer. … We will go forward with our plans to show the film … in hopes our film will provide a way for all who loved her to celebrate her life—and experience what made her such a national treasure,” they said.
