Sunday 7 August 2022 05:37 PM Shaun Ryder admits he fears Covid booster jab triggered borther Paul's sudden ... trends now
Shaun Ryder has called for answers over his brother Paul's death after he suddenly died aged 58 on July 15.
The musician was found dead last month, just hours before the band were due to play at Kubix Festival in Sunderland. The circumstances of Paul's death are not known.
In an exclusive chat with MailOnline from his home in Manchester, Happy Mondays frontman Shaun, 59, revealed that with a lack of answers he had begun to fixate on the Covid vaccine after learning Paul had a booster weeks before his passing.
Shaun's comments are in sharp contract to the verdict given by the coroner, who said Paul passed away as a result of Ischaemic heart disease and diabetes.

Shaun said: 'It's a bit iffy to me – he's a 50-something-year-old bloke, he'd had a clean bill of health, and he has his booster, flies over here and dies.'
'We're going to be waiting two weeks for the autopsy.
'I don't think our kid really paid attention to any of that (scare stories about Covid jabs) he just went and had his booster – I think that triggered something.'
The Mondays' bass player Paul Ryder was discovered dead in his bed aged 58 at 6am on Friday July 15 by their mum Linda at her home in Manchester hours before the band was due to play the Kubix Festival in Sunderland.

Shaun said the family are still waiting for the results of an autopsy but revealed the coroner has reported 'Paul passed away as a result of Ischaemic heart disease and diabetes'.
Paul was staying at his mum's after travelling from his home in LA for the Sunderland gig days after he got his Covid booster jab in the States – which left him with blinding headaches.
Shaun said when the ambulance arrived emergency workers said his death looked as it may have been linked to a blood clot or brain tumour, and he is now probably not going to get another booster jab himself as a result.

Various myths have been spread about Covid-19 vaccines, including that the jabs will alter DNA, cause infertility or even connect people to the internet.
The Pfizer/BioNTech Covid-19 vaccine uses a fragment of messenger RNA (mRNA) to instruct your body to make an immune response against Covid-19.
