Did Tito Die on May 4th? The Marshal Was Buried Twice
It has been said on several occasions that Tito did not die on May 4th, but on another day...
TL;DR
- Conspiracy theories suggest Tito died on February 19, 1980, not May 4th.
- The May 4th date is rumored to be an 'Illuminati holiday' (Day of Mercy).
- A secret message about Tito's alleged February death was reportedly sent to a destroyer in the Black Sea.
- Tito's body was allegedly kept on life support until the state decided how to manage his death and preserve stability.
- The burial on May 8th used a lighter marble slab as a 'mask' for the public ceremony, with the heavier original slab placed later.
- Predrag Lalević, Tito's physician, denies these theories, confirming the official death date and time, and stating he personally disconnected Tito from life support.
