Matzav.com reported that Strulovics was 73 and “had contracted the coronavirus.” An 18-year-old grandson of the rabbi, who spoke to The Inquirer on the condition that his name not be published, said Strulovics had been in contact with someone who had the coronavirus, and thus was tested for it, but had “tested negative” the day before his death. He said his grandfather was 72. The rabbi’s age and cause of death could not immediately be confirmed Thursday.
