A local newspaper reports that she died after a three-year battle with encephalitis caused by Powassan virus, a tick-borne disease that frequently causes severe illness with a ten percent mortality rate.

Sad story regardless of Party Affiliation. Check out the net worth.

Hagan's widower, Chip, is a transaction lawyer. The Hagans had three children: Jeanette, Tilden, and Carrie.[76] Kay Hagan had a 2012 net worth of approximately $24 million.

After the end of her U.S. Senate term, Hagan became a resident fellow at the Harvard Institute of Politics.

While in Washington, D.C. in December 2016, Hagan became ill with a type of encephalitis (inflammation of the brain) and was admitted to a hospital. Hagan was diagnosed with Powassan virus. In a 2019 article, Hagan's husband reported that "Kay’s ability to speak is limited, but her comprehension is very good. She can speak, but it's slow and labored."

She died on October 28, 2019, from complications of Powassan virus. She was 66 years old.

Stories like this scare the hell out of me.

You are in my prayers and I pray that you won't be afraid anymore and be at peace.

What was good about her?

Now I feel both blessed and scared with 80 candles staring in my face. If I knew I was going to live this long, I would have stayed away from all those all you can drink office parties, and chased fewer broads when I was single...umm actually not! Since my mom made it to 103, I am trying hard now to reach 100. No more booze, and regular exercise!!

"She’s the third democrat to die in the last 10 days."

Maybe it is the beginning of the "End of Days" solely for the evil among us... Particularly if you take into account the two major terrorists who, also, have taken up residence in Hell...

I’ve noticed people younger than me dying, such as this lady, and it makes me take notice.

[SkyDancer]

Don’t like that “unexpectedly” dying.

[hsmomx3]

I applaud you!!

Seems lately, many from my high school days are dying suddenly of strokes, heart attacks and cancer. These are people who are around age 60 which is sad.

[hsmomx3]

You’re right, I did forget her brother. Thanks!!

[EvilCapitalist]

What did she know about Hillary?

[SuperLuminal]

Although Kay Hagan wouldn’t have been considered evil, so she is probably being greeted by St Peter...

[hsmomx3]

It’s about time we have some positive blessings happening on “our” side.

[laplata]

God bless you, friend.

I am not familiar with this woman other than to read she beat Elizabeth Dole and was a one term politician.

I used to use this as my email sig:

If I knew I was going to live this long,
I would have taken better care of myself.

Prayers for you.
