Fox News commentator dead at 45 from brain cancer

Kelly Powers, a commentator on Fox News, died this week from brain cancer.

Powers was 45 years old.

An obituary posted online for Powers called her "a brave and beautiful soul who could make friends anywhere she went."

The former surgeon and medical expert was a regular commentator on the network and a guest on programs like "Red Eye" and "Fox and Friends."

In 2020, she was diagnosed with glioblastoma, a severe form of brain cancer, according to a GoFundMe page set up for her family. After three brain surgeries, multiple rounds of radiation, chemotherapy, and immunotherapy, her cancer returned earlier this year.

Powers is survived by her husband, Steven Doll, and her young son, Bennett.
