“People are saying her death was related to getting a booster shot three days earlier but that is not true.

“She died of natural causes.

“Her death should not be politicised – that is not the life she lived,” he added to The Hollywood Reporter.

The rumours had emerged after her death when a quote was falsely attributed to Betty.

“I will miss her terribly and so will the animal world that she loved so much.

“I don’t think Betty ever feared passing because she always wanted to be with her most beloved husband Allen Ludden.

“She believed she would be with him again.”

Betty had been speaking in recent months about her health as she turned 100.

This came as a special cinematic event was due to air to coincide with her landmark birthday.

This will feature interviews from Betty’s co-stars and friends, including Ryan Reynolds and Robert Redford.

Speaking to PEOPLE in an interview published on December 19, she shared how her longevity was down to “avoiding anything green.”

Betty had said: “I think it’s working.

“I’m so lucky to be in such good health and feel so good at this age.”
