Fox News’ Dr. Kelly Powers Dead at 45

The Fox News family was horrified this week to learn of the passing of Dr. Kelly Powers.

Powers has been a Fox News contributor for some time, once suffering a medical incident on the show.

She has lost her battle with brain cancer, passing away at the age of 45.

Sad Day

Kelly had been diagnosed with glioblastoma, an aggressive form of brain cancer, in 2020.

She had suffered a seizure at the time, but while heading into the operating room, she also got some additional news.

Kelly 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.”

After her operation, Kelly underwent chemo and immunotherapy, with the cancer finally going into remission in 2021.

If you recall, Kelly made national headlines during a Fox News segment when she suffered a cardiac incident on air.

Ironically, she had been discussing heart health during the segment.

She 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.”

This is just a devastating loss for Fox News and her family, not to mention her young son who will now have to be raised without a mother.

Our thoughts are with your family, Kelly. Rest in peace.
