Overview
- On Anderson Cooper’s All There Is podcast, Bryan said authorities described Kelly Bryan’s 2007 passing as “sudden death syndrome,” a label he had not previously shared publicly.
- He recounted that his sister, 39, died suddenly at home while doing laundry, saying it felt like someone “turned the switch off.”
- Bryan said autopsy results were inconclusive, with no aneurysm, embolism, or blood clot found, and the family sought answers in part to understand any risk to her children.
- He noted a “pretty severe” orbital bone injury and suggested she may have fainted and fallen, adding that having someone present might have improved her chances of survival.
- After Kelly’s husband, Ben Cheshire, died in 2014, Bryan and his wife Caroline took in the couple’s three children — Jordan, Kris, and Til — and he reflected on their family’s long process of grief.
