Beloved local TV news anchor Amanda Hanson shockingly passed away at age 38, according to Memphis station Action News 5.
“We are devastated to announce the loss of our colleague Amanda Hanson,” the Tennessee TV station posted on X late Thursday.
“Amanda, a beloved journalist, Memphian, colleague, and friend, joined the Action News 5 team in 2021 and was the driving force behind the Action News 5 Digital Desk.”
K8 News — a local Arkansas TV station where Hanson had worked from 2010 to 2015 and then again from 2018 to 2021— revealed that she suffered from a “medical emergency earlier this week and died from complications.”
No further details were available.
