The Walking Dead actress Kelley Mack has died aged 33 after being diagnosed with cancer
The Walking Dead star Kelley Mack has died at the age of 33 after being diagnosed with a rare form of cancer. The actress was best known for playing the role of Addy in the popular zombie drama.
Her death was announced in a post on her Instagram page, which read: “It is with indelible sadness that we are announcing the passing of our dear Kelley. Such a bright, fervent light has transitioned to the beyond, where we all eventually must go.
“Kelley passed peacefully on Saturday evening with her loving mother Kristen and steadfast aunt Karen present. Kelley has already come to many of her loved ones in the form of various butterflies. She will be missed by so many to depths that words cannot express.”
Kelley previously announced that she had been diagnosed with a rare form of cancer in September and was undergoing aggressive treatment as a result. Kelley played Addy in five episodes of The Walking Dead in 2018 but had also appeared in 9-1-1, Chicago Med and TV film Mr. Manhattan.
Kelley had recently starred in the film Universal alongside The Inbetweeners’ star Joe Thomas and Buffering’s Rosa Robson. Kelley had been recovering from cancer treatment earlier in the year, posting in March that she had finished proton radiation treatment and was undergoing physical therapy.
“Overall, this journey has not been easy, but things are getting better — improvements are tough to see when you’re in the thick of it. Thank you again and again for the support and prayers,” she wrote on Instagram at the time.
