‘Walking Dead’ Actress Dies At 33 After Battling Rare Cancer

Kelley Mack, an actress best known for her role on the popular zombie apocalypse series “The Walking Dead,” has died at the age of 33 from a rare form of cancer.

“Such a bright, fervent light has transitioned to the beyond, where we all eventually must go,” her sister Kathryn shared via Mack’s Instagram account on Tuesday.

“Kelley passed peacefully on Saturday evening with her loving mother Kristen and steadfast aunt Karen present. Kelley has already come to many of her loved ones in the form of various butterflies,” the post said. “She will be missed by so many to depths that words cannot express.”

Mack’s sister went on, “She would want you all to know how much she loves you. And as her sister, I want you all to know how brave that tough SOB was, especially when she decided to make the leap to be reunited with God. I’m so f***ing proud of her.”

In a previous Instagram post last year, Mack explained that she experienced “persistent lower back pain” and thought she had slipped a disc. Weeks later, she had “neuropathic itching in my right quad” followed by “shooting pains” in her legs and back that caused her to begin sleeping in a recliner because lying down “was too painful.”

At the time, she said she was receiving radiation treatment.

“I am very grateful to have such a supportive and loving family and boyfriend, who have been with me every second of this process. It has been a very emotional and challenging time, truly testing my mental fortitude, faith, and physical strength,” Mack wrote at the time. “This experience has brought me closer to God, and I am leaning on him and trust his plan for me.”

She ended the post with a Bible quote. “The light shines in the darkness; and the darkness has not overcome it. -John‬ ‭1‬‬:‭5‬”

Mack appeared in season 9 of “The Walking Dead” from 2018 to 2019 as Addy. According to her IMDb profile, she was also in “Chicago Med” and an episode of “9-1-1,” in addition to the films “Mr. Manhattan” and “Delicate Arch.” 

“Kelley was known for her warmth, creativity, and unwavering support for those around her. She cherished time with her family and friends, finding joy in collaboration and storytelling. Her infectious enthusiasm and dedication to her work inspired countless others in the industry and beyond,” her obituary said in part.

Trump Doubles Tariff On India For Fueling ‘Russian War Machine’

President Donald Trump signed an executive order on Wednesday morning, imposing an additional 25% tariff on India in response to its continued purchases of Russian oil.

The new 25% tariff means that the tariff rate on India now sits at 50%. The Trump administration imposed a 25% tariff on India last week as it unrolled the president’s delayed “Liberation Day” duties on countries across the globe.

Trump has also threatened to hit Russia with a 100% secondary tariff if Moscow does not reach a peace deal with Ukraine by the end of the week. A secondary tariff would affect Russia by punishing the countries that do business with it, meaning India could see its tariff rate rise even higher.

The initial 25% tariff on India is set to take effect Thursday, with the new tariff scheduled to begin in 21 days. At a 50% tariff rate, India will be among the countries hit the hardest by Trump’s tariffs, alongside China and Brazil.

Trump’s executive order on Wednesday is a follow-through on his promise earlier this week to “substantially” raise the tariff rate on India after he pressured the country to stop “fueling the [Russian] war machine.” India ramped up Russian oil purchases in the months following Russian President Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.

“India is not only buying massive amounts of Russian oil, they are then, for much of the oil purchased, selling it on the Open Market for big profits. They don’t care how many people in Ukraine are being killed by the Russian War Machine,” Trump said on Monday. “Because of this, I will be substantially raising the tariff paid by India to the USA. Thank you for your attention to this matter!!!”

While India isn’t a key U.S. trading partner, it still exports tens of billions of dollars worth of goods to the United States each year. Indian exports to the United States include diamonds, jewelry, textiles, refined petroleum, and pharmaceuticals. India pushed back against criticism from the United States and the European Union over its purchases of Russian oil, saying that it is being “targeted.” The country added that “it is revealing that the very nations criticizing India are themselves indulging in trade with Russia.”
