Beloved long time Fox News commentator and doctor Kelly Powers died Sunday following a lengthy battle with brain cancer.
She was 45 years old.
In 2020 Powers dealt with a variety of health issues, prompting her initial diagnosis.
Powers first experienced symptoms of shortness of breath and chest pains before going into heart failure while doing a segment on Fox Business.
“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 told Preferred Health Magazine in an interview after she was first diagnosed for her ailments.
Later on, Powers learned she had glioblastoma, an aggressive brain cancer.
The New York Post reported that despite her illness went into remission, it returned in 2024 before she passed away over the weekend.

Beyond her career on television, Powers was an accomplished podiatric surgeon. She attended the New York College of Podiatric Medicine and did her residency at Georgetown and the Boston University School of Medicine.
