Mr. Mike Mitchell

FETHIYE, TURKEY — A 65-year-old actor, bodybuilder and former Mr. Universe is dead after proudly admitting his voluntary guinea pig status.

Mr. Michael Mitchell received his first experimental Sinovac Coronavac “inactivated virus” injection on February 22, according to his Facebook page. Coronavac is used pretty much everywhere (including Mexico and the Philippines) except the United States, Russia and Western Europe. He received the second injection on March 20. He reported no apparent adverse effects. But Mr. Mitchell and a friend immediately wondered if the China-made Coronavac injections would suffice for international travel.

The final sentence in the July 21 post reads, “P.S. I have had three vaccinations of different brands, so we may learn more about a way forward.”

Mr. Mitchell died the next day, Friday, July 22 in a marina cabin near his house boat. The marina manager checked on the actor after he was inside the cabin for an unusually long time. Mr. Mitchell was found unresponsive, lying on the floor.
