Betty White's cause of death has been revealed.
In a statement to PEOPLE, her agent revealed that she died of "natural causes."
The comedy icon died just a few weeks prior to her 100th birthday.
In a statement on Monday, Jeff Witjas said, "Betty died peacefully in her sleep at her home."
He also debunked any rumors that her death was connected to a COVID-19 booster, noting: "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 politicized — that is not the life she lived."
He previously confirmed to the Associated Press that White did not receive a booster shot on December 28.
White starred in "The Golden Girls" and "The Mary Tyler Moore Show."
