Fox News Contributor Dead at 45

The Fox News family is reeling today after the announced death of one of their own.

Dr. Kelly Powers, a regular contributor to the network, passed away after a long battle with brain cancer.

She was only 45 years old.

Sad Day

Powers has been battling brain cancer since 2020 when she was first diagnosed with Glioblastoma.

Since then, she has had multiple operations, immunotherapy, and chemo.

In 2021, she went into remission, but that was short-lived.

The solace in all of this is that when she went into remission, she and her husband started a family, welcoming Bennett into the world.

This year, however, the cancer returned. Powers had been trying to raise money for an experimental treatment that was only available in Germany, but once again, cancer won this battle.

A regular contributor to health segments on Fox News, she once made national headlines for suffering a medical incident on air while discussing heart health.

On that incident, Powers stated, “It's crazy - I went into heart failure while doing a report on Fox Business - live - on heart health and talking about the subtle signs that women often miss. You can't make this up.”

She added, “I was actually diagnosed with heart disease by accident when my gallbladder was failing and I had to have it removed.

“That led to my heart being examined and... I couldn't believe it – here I was in my late 30s, experiencing a health condition that a much older person would be diagnosed with.”

In 2020, she found out she had brain cancer after having suffered a massive seizure.

Powers explained, “So, the brain surgeon is wheeling me in to have surgery - he suddenly stops and says, ‘Hey just want to let you know before I put you under, you’re pregnant - the surrogate took and you have a baby boy on the way!’ I honestly could only think - what the h**l is happening.”

Needless to say, her friends at Fox News were devasted, with multiple tributes posted, including one by Britt McHenry, who posted, “Kelly Powers was a wonderful, strong and kind woman. We would text each other about our brain cancer struggles and she was someone I admired deeply.

“In tears and devastated about this. She loved her family. I am sending them all the love and prayers right now.”

Rest in peace, young lady, as our thoughts are with your family and your young son.
