The fact that they put that he had covid symptoms in the title...
It's a simple statement of fact. That's suspicious to some people I suppose.
It's called editorializing, look it up.
Doctor: "These symptoms look like cancer."
Patient: "Cancer doesn't exist." Dies.
News: "Patient with cancer symptoms dies."
Anonymous Internet person: "News is clutching at straws!"
There's good reason for people to doubt a diagnosis since in many cases they happen to be wrong: https://www.cbc.ca/radio/thecurrent/the-current-for-april-20-2017-1.4076044/can-anything-be-done-to-prevent-hospital-misdiagnoses-1.4076140

That would have fit OP's title a little better.
Keep in mind that if speculation wasn't allowed .win would have about 0.01% of its posts.
