About the News Anchor Who Died of a Brain Aneurysm – Hollywood Life

Ana Orsini, a news anchor from Tucscon, Arizona’s KOLD 13 News, suddenly died last week. She was just 28 years old. Her colleagues tearfully broke the news of her death on the air and via social media.

KOLD TV remembered their late colleague for her “bottomless empathy who always stood up for ‘the little guy,’” the news station wrote in a tribute.

“[Ana] was a smiling face most especially for all her newest and youngest coworkers, and she is known in all the newsrooms where she worked for taking them under her wing and being a strong mentor for both work and life,” the tribute read. “Rescue animals were her passion, and if she wasn’t celebrating Fur Baby Friday, she’d be trying to find a new home for a cutie in need. If Ana found out you loved true crime, like she did, she would share the calendar she kept to track the releases of all the new episodes of the best podcasts. Her favorite was ‘True Crime Obsessed,’ and if you spent longer than 5 minutes with Ana without hearing her favorite quote from it, ‘Let the women do the work,’ then something was seriously wrong! She was a peanut-butter-M&M-loving, platform-Ugg-wearing, pink-or-purple-Stanley-toting ray of sunshine, even at 4:00 in the morning.”

Ana Died From a Brain Aneurysm

What Is a Brain Aneurysm?

A brain aneurysm is a “bulge or ballooning in a blood vessel in the brain,” according to Mayo Clinic. This occurs because the blood flowing through a vessel puts pressure on a “weak area of the vessel wall,” which can expand the aneurysm. If it ruptures, an aneurysm can cause bleeding in the brain, which is also known as a hemorrhagic stroke.
