Kelley Mack, the actress best known for her work on “The Walking Dead,” has died at age 33 after a battle with diffuse midline glioma, a rare type of brain cancer. The diagnosis was revealed by Mack in January, when she shared that she had lost the use of her right leg and most of her left leg due to the surgery.
Mack’s family stated that she will be deeply missed by many. According to her own statement, “Kelley has already come to many of her loved ones in the form of various butterflies.”
Diffuse midline gliomas are tumors that start in the primary central nervous system and affect symptoms such as double vision, swallowing problems, and a loss of balance or weakness on one or both sides of the body. The treatment options include surgery, chemotherapy, radiation, and targeted medications.
Mack’s acting career included roles in “The Walking Dead,” “Chicago Med,” and the horror film “Broadcast Signal Intrusion.” She also worked as a producer, writer, and voiceover artist.
A “recognition and remembrance” of life for Mack will be held on August 16 in Glendale, Ohio, and another celebration will take place in Los Angeles at a later date.
