King was moved out of ICU at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles.Sources say, “He reportedly believes he contracted the virus from a health care staffer who was at his home. One of his sons has also tested positive.”King survived a heart attack as well as prostate and lung cancer. Also, both his children died 23 days after each other. On Facebook he writes:“It is with sadness and a father’s broken heart that I confirm the recent loss of two of my children, Andy King, and Chaia King. Both of them were good and kind souls and they will be greatly missed. Andy passed away unexpectedly of a heart attack on July 28th, and Chaia passed on August 20th, only a short time after having been diagnosed with lung cancer.”He adds:“Losing them feels so out of order. No parent should have to bury a child. My family and I thank you for your outpouring of kind sentiments and well wishes. In this moment, we need a little time and privacy to heal. I thank you for respecting that.”Praying for a speedy recovery!
