My deepest condolences and prayers to family and friends...Thank you ! R.I.H !!!

[@jenniferlawrence9473]

Sorry, but don't know what a 'medical condition' means. Is that COVID? I hate the lack of transparency in the news.

[@longislandny696]

RIP KAT 😢💔 you will be missed. I too am 47, life is so short.

[@martharosario1657]

R.I.P. KAT 😥💔🥀

Jennifer+ when they don’t say what it was, it’s usually side effect death from vaccine. Larry King, and Another celeb Aner died from vaccine side effects. 2 weeks before he died he was on T.V getting stupid vaccine, now fake news says he died from covid complications BULLCRAP

If her children ever see this, you had a Beautiful Mother 🌹 May God console her husband, family and loved ones

[@kimberlyjones6476]

This is so scary to me that we have no idea how quickly our lives can be over. Live every day to the fullest. If you’re unhappy and think you have time, you probably don’t. Make a change now before it’s too late.

I literally just saw her on TV a day or two ago...I'm shook. Rest in peace Kath =(

She was such a wonderful reporter. She is going to be missed.

So sad, a beautiful woman leaves us with no answers..she was the best news anchor more than anyone else. May her rest in peace

She seemed like the warm and wonderful friend you wish you had. That mega-watt smile!! My condolences to all who love her. She will be missed.

[@zen-god]

I can't believe that this beautiful woman is no longer with us without any clear explanation of how she died. I am truly heartbroken over this. 💔😭 I watched her every morning and who would have known that Wednesday morning would be the last time that I would see her alive? Unbelievable. 🤦 Life is way too short. Sleep in Peace Queen. 🌹👼🙏👸🌹

[@sheilaeason1190]

I would turn the channel 4 and there she is at the end of the day u never no u just never no when you take ur last breath

[@lovewhitey2027]

Just know that she has been promoted 🎚🙏🏻

[@candacerichardson1859]

She was suffering from a medical condition 😟

[@hume6900]

It was stated in the video that she suffered from a medical condition. The fact that it was not further specified could have been at the family’s request. Whatever the cause it is none of our business. Those in journalism or entertainment of any form have an inalienable right to a private life and death. My condolences, prayers, and thoughts are with her family and friends during this time.

[@mark72141]

Yes no mention of the cause of her death except saying due to medical condition. She could have committed suicide.

[@juliekostas7322]

What a loss-- such a gentle kind spirit. She was a wonderful kind voice and smile to see in the wee hours each morning. My deepest condolences to her friends, family and her NBC family. It's very hard when you all become the news. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

I don't understand why people dislike this video? Condolences to Kat's family, friends and colleagues

This is the way of america now, people do things just to be negative, half the people that disliked the video, have no reason why they disliked it, it’ s just the norm these days.

The whole day I was just thinking about how weird it will be to watch Today In NY knowing Kat Creag wont be at some part of the tri state giving the news. She was a talent that was rare and unique. Rest in peace, Katherine Creag.
