Yikes i only just found this although it happened a couple of months ago - AstraZeneca (Big COVID vaccine producer) head of Oncology R&D died of CJD (Prion/Mad Cow disease) according to Spanish news reports.

To further prove that claim see that his daughter is running a gofundme campaign in his honour to raise money for CJD research!
Should note that at the current time it is very, very rare to die from prion disease/CJD as it is something that usually takes a few years to develop, but if the R&D research head had been exposed to prions in the lab a few years ago while experimenting that would explain his death from it.

José Baselga, a storied oncology researcher and pharmaceutical executive whose discoveries helped pave the way for new breast cancer therapies, died Sunday at the age of 61.
His death was confirmed by AstraZeneca, where Baselga had been serving as executive vice president for research and development in oncology. The company did not provide a cause of death; the Spanish newspaper La Vanguardia reported it was Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, a rare brain infection that causes degeneration and death.
