“Mak Parhar, the New Westminster man who gained online notoriety for his belief the earth is flat and outspoken denial that COVID-19 exists, has died. New Westminster police confirmed they were called to help paramedics at a home in the Sapperton neighbourhood Thursday morning, but arrived to find Parkhar deceased. The cause of death has not been determined and will be investigated by the BC Coroners Service. In a recent livestreamed video, Parhar reported feeling ill with a variety of symptoms, including fatigue, chills and a cough, which he said was ‘not CONVID (sic) because CONVID (sic) doesn’t exist.’ In a video posted Wednesday, Parhar said he was feeling somewhat better and had recently taken Ivermectin, an anti-parasite drug widely touted in the anti-vax community, but which Canadian and US health officials have warned against using” reports GlobalNews.ca because haha Global News and he’s a Flat Earther.
Wondering if the Flat Earth community has their own version of a viking funeral when one of theirs dies, in which they gather at the edge of the disc or square or whatever shape the planet is in their mythology to somberly push the casket of the deceased off the precipice and into the aether in either a canoe or a wagon, depending on whether it’s held at a water or land-based edge.
