Until her death, Karen worked as an Associate Editor at HotAir. The news channel shared the tragic news about Karen demise.

According to the Houston area police, the cause of death will be released by the medical examiner.

“Many of you have been following our coverage of Hurricane Beryl and the subsequent flooding and blackouts that followed when it came ashore in Texas. If you have, you may already be aware that one of our writing staff here at Hot Air, Karen Townsend, lived in the Houston area and we lost contact with her shortly after the power went out. The blackout went on for far too long, with more than a week passing with no word from Karen. Yesterday we learned the tragic news that Karen was discovered deceased during a wellness check. A cause of death was not initially released. Karen had just turned 69 last month, and this took place only a few months after her beloved husband Charlie had passed away.”

Karen Townsend obituary and funeral arrangements will be released by the family.

Karen displayed strong, Christian-conservative values in both her written work and her personality. She rapidly became a regular feature on the pages of Hot Air, always making herself available to cover breaking news at odd hours and on Saturdays and Sundays. She was far more than a teammate. She was a friend and a highly valued one at that.
