A spokesperson for the hospital where he died said the man's condition 'deteriorated rapidly.'
"He received appropriate care but his condition deteriorated rapidly," said Judith Goudreau, a spokesperson for the Centre intégré de santé et de services sociaux (CISSS) de Laval, in a statement.
No other details were officially released from public health officials on the man's age or how long he had been admitted to hospital.
However, on Thursday night Le Journal de Montreal reported that the man was 39-year-old Stefanos Govas, publishing an interview with his wife, Kaliope Seferiadis.
She told the paper that she and Govas "weren't anti-vaxxers" but just dragged their heels in getting their doses, knowing they were relatively young and athletic.
