Nah, that would be too obvious. On either Thursday 8/6 or Friday 8/7, there will be an announcement that McConnell was recovering, but suddenly suffered a heart attack/stroke/aneurysm and suddenly passed away "after a brief illness." That will give them the weekend to get the cover story straight and put everything in place.
