Fox News commentator and doctor Kelly Powers has died after a long battle with cancer. She was 45.
Powers was first diagnosed with brain cancer after facing a series of health complications in 2020, and went into remission before the deadly illness returned this year.
She was a regular on the Fox News talk show “Red Eye,” and made appearances on Fox Business, where she led segments on health risks facing Americans.

She was a regular on the Fox News talk show “Red Eye,” and made appearances on Fox Business, where she led segments on health risks facing Americans.
But her career in journalism was ancillary to her true passion in medicine.
A successful podiatric surgeon, Powers was educated at the New York College of Podiatric Medicine and did her residency at Georgetown and the Boston University School Of Medicine.
“She was a brave and beautiful soul who could make friends anywhere she went. Kelly had a love for people and she was dedicated to helping others,” her obituary read.
After years of helping patients, Powers became one herself while hosting a Fox News segment about heart health when she began to experience shortness of breath and chest pains.
After three surgeries, chemotherapy and radiation, Powers managed to beat the cancer back — all while becoming pregnant and giving birth to a boy, Bennett, according to a GoFundMe.Go Fund Me
“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 her first diagnosis.
She battled through that ailment, only to discover she had the aggressive brain cancer glioblastoma a short time later.
She referred to herself as “the luckiest unlucky girl” after besting her illnesses, and would joke how her treatment left her and Bennett with the same haircut when he was a baby, the funding page stated.Kelly Powers-Doll/Instagram

After three surgeries, chemotherapy and radiation, she managed to beat the cancer back — all while becoming pregnant and giving birth to a boy, Bennett, according to a GoFundMe.
She referred to herself as “the luckiest unlucky girl” after besting her illnesses, and would joke how her treatment left her and Bennett with the same haircut when he was a baby, the funding page stated.
When her cancer returned in 2024, friends raised nearly $100,000 to help pay for an experimental treatment that insurance wouldn’t cover.
Powers, who died Sunday, is survived by Bennett, 3, and her husband, Steve.
