Larry King has been laid to rest.
The iconic TV host passed away at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles on Saturday (23.01.21) at the age of 87, after being treated for COVID-19 earlier this month.
And now, his wife Shawn King – with whom he had 21-year-old Chance and 20-year-old Cannon – has revealed he has already been laid to rest, as it is common within the Jewish faith to “do it very quickly”.
She said: We laid him to rest this morning. And in the Jewish faith, they do it very quickly, so you almost don t have time to, for me, to process. I m still processing. And as are the boys, the whole family is just, you know, yeah.

Died: January 23, 2021. LARRY King, who has died aged 87, was one of the best-known, and highest-rated, broadcasters in America, whose hour-long programme on CNN every weeknight brought the format of talk-radio to television, and saw him interview tens of thousands of people, ranging from presidents and film stars to those with inventions, books or conspiracy theories to peddle. Though his show, which was eventually syndicated to more than 130 countries, brought him fame, wealth, a slew of awards and endless cameos as himself in films and on television, it was unusual for it actually to provide much in the way of insight or information.
