Amanda Davis, veteran Atlanta news anchor, dead after suffering 'massive' stroke
An outpouring of condolences flooded social media for veteran Atlanta news anchor Amanda Davis who died on Wednesday after she suffered a “massive spontaneous stroke” while heading to her stepfather’s funeral, local reports said. Davis was 62.
Davis, who was a CBS46 morning news anchor, was rushed to the hospital on Tuesday after she had a medical emergency at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport. She died the next night, the station said.
The news anchor posted on Twitter last week that her “pops” had died and his funeral was on Wednesday. She was at the airport and heading to Texas for the funeral when she suffered the stroke, Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported.
Her last post on Facebook was on Christmas Eve. It was a text graphic about the difficulty of experiencing the first Christmas after losing a loved one with the caption: “Stay strong, keep praising the Lord.”
Davis was a news anchor in Atlanta for more than 30 years and previously worked at FOX5 Atlanta, where she helped launch Good Day Atlanta in 1992. She became a main anchor five years later, according to FOX5, but retired from the station in 2013.
