COVIDiocy to the Grave?: Mak Parhar, COVID denier and flat earther, died (probably of COVID) at age 48

Mak Parhar, 48, has died. He's best known as a flat-earther and COVID denier. He live-streamed that he's got COVID symptoms as late as November 3rd, was self-treating with cold meds and ivermectin (which does not work) yet still claiming that COVID does not exist. He called it "CONVID". He was found dead in his home in BC. 

While the coroner cannot say the cause of death until a full autopsy has been performed, it's widely known that he live-streamed his condition of COVID symptom only days ago on November 3rd, 2021 when he revealed he took Ivermectin yet still denied he had COVID. Earlier (in October) he had complained about having some symptoms. 

Mak Parhar apparently decided the whole COVID thing was a hoax to destroy his livelihood when Canadian authorities ordered a shutdown in early 2020, which included his yoga studio, because he falsely claimed that "hot yoga" kills coronavirus and actively encouraged his yoga students to violate public health orders. For that, he lost his business license in March 2020. Ever since, he made it his business to criticize the Canadian COVID policy.

He once made a video, during the height of pandemic, in the middle of Metro Vancouver Hospital, claiming to be "trying to get to the truth about the virus".  

Apparently he's also a flat Earther because he was arrested for flagrantly not self-quarantining after returning from a Flat Earth convention in the US in fall 2020. He was supposed to appear in court earlier but claimed he was too sick to do so. 

(In case you don't know, Flat Earthers believe the Earth is FLAT.)

In April 2021 he filed a nuisance lawsuit claiming the Canadian government had committed against him trespass, malfeasance, extortion, terrorism, kidnapping, and fraud. The lawsuit was thrown out. 

In a way, Mr. Parhar epitomized the modern conspiracy COVIDiot... He may have died still holding that belief, but we will never know. 

But please pray for him anyway, because he is survived by a daughter, according to vancouverisawesome.com. We are not privy to his marital status.
