Clinical trials for the drugmaker's vaccine remain on hold in the United States.
In a statement to NBC News, AstraZeneca said that the trial would continue.
"We cannot comment on individual cases in an ongoing trial of the Oxford vaccine as we adhere strictly to medical confidentiality and clinical trial regulations, but we can confirm that all required review processes have been followed," the statement said."All significant medical events are carefully assessed by trial investigators, an independent safety monitoring committee and the regulatory authorities.
"Without details it’s impossible to know what has happened in this case but as the trial is continuing, I think we can assume the circumstances of the death were such that it was clearly not vaccine related," Jones said in a statement.
