Overview
- Bryan spoke on CNN’s All There Is with Anderson Cooper, saying he had not previously detailed Kelly Bryan’s death because of pervasive online misinformation.
- He described his sister, 39, dying suddenly at home while doing laundry, likening it to a switch being turned off.
- Medical inquiries and an autopsy were inconclusive, with doctors describing the case as sudden death syndrome and leaving questions about possible hereditary risk.
- Bryan said Kelly had a severe orbital bone injury and suggested she may have fainted and struck the floor, adding her chances might have improved if someone had been present.
- After Kelly’s husband died in 2014, Bryan and his wife raised her three children alongside their sons, and he recounted a moving exchange with a nine-year-old fan that reinforced his choice to discuss grief openly.
