Fred Powers has died
June 24, 2008 at 1:58 pm by Andisheh Nouraee in NewsCBS 46 News reporter Fred Powers has died. According to the AJC, he was diagnosed with cancer in 2005 and was on leave as his health declined. He was 49.
Powers was best-known for his willingness to endure pain while on-camera. Reports showing Powers being tased or attacked by dogs weren’t news, but at least they weren’t exploiting other people’s misfortune. And they were entertaining as hell. Powers was great at his job.
CBS 46 has a nice remembrance video on its web site.
