According to Entertainment Tonight, King, 87, died from COVID-19. Although his wife Shawn King asserts that, an infection called sepsis was the more immediate cause of death.

Larry King’s excludes wife, Shawn in a secrete will

This isn’t the first time that celebrity estate planning has been a shambles. Even Chadwick Boseman, the “Black Panther,” star who died in 2020, didn’t have a will either, same as many Americans do.

In contrast, even when a will exists, it might be convoluted, as was the case for John Mahoney, who played the father in “Frasier,” who died in 2018 with a list of 38 beneficiaries.

Larry King’s wife, Shawn King, who he was divorcing at the time of his death, is now opposing paperwork after his last will and testament took Shawn out of a $2 million estate. The will doesn’t include Shawn King’s name.

Shawn King has been married to Larry King for 22 years. He was a polygamous man so Shawn was his seventh wife.

According to a source in the New York Post’s Page Six, Shawn believes her husband was convinced into writing it, but she did not clarify. She was cited as adding, “We have a pretty watertight family estate plan.” “It exists still, and it is the rightful will of the people.” Period. And I’m confident it’ll hold up.”

From Shawn own mouth, they collaborated on the plan in 2015. Their supposed divorce hadn’t been confirmed yet.

However, Larry King’s estate proceedings have become even more difficult. Two of his children who died in 2019 are included in the most recent will.

According to a report by TMZ, His son, Larry King Jr. has petitioned to be designated as the estate’s manager.

King’s Career

After some initial obstacles in settling in Miami, he first reached the airways in 1957 on WAHR. Larry was hired to clean up around the studio and do odd duties around the office, but when one of the station’s announcers abruptly departed, he was given the opportunity to go on the air.

On May 1, 1957, he made his debut as a disc jockey on the 9 a.m. to noon slot. He also did a sportscast and two afternoon newscasts. He received a weekly stipend of $50.

He was advised by the station manager to change his name to something less “ethnic.” Within two years, he had legally changed his name to Larry King, which he had picked up from a King’s Wholesale Liquor advertisement in the Miami Herald.

At Pumpernik’s restaurant in Miami Beach, he began conducting interviews for WIOD on a mid-morning show. He’d interview anybody who came through the door, his first interview was with a restaurant waitress.
