SINGER Kelly Price mysteriously disappeared and was reported missing on September 24, 2021, but she is now safe.
The gospel star vanished following a Covid diagnosis when she left the hospital without her family’s knowledge.
Is Kelly Price missing?
The singer was filed as an official missing person after her family claimed she left the hospital where she was treated for Covid.
But a few days later Cobb County officials told Trending In The News that they were notified that “Kelly has returned.”
Authorities said: “She is with family but the investigation remains ongoing so we cannot provide further details at this time.”
Police told TMZ that they found “no evidence of foul play” though they were not able to pinpoint her whereabouts for some time.
What has Kelly Price said?
The singer shut down rumors of her being missing and explained that she had “turned off everything” including all “social media” while she was fighting the deadly virus.
She told TMZ that she was never missing and admitted that her relationship with her family is strained and she hasn’t seen her sister in a year.
“We’ve been strained for a very long time,” she said.
“I was never missing. I was in my home, I was being seen by doctors. There were no visitors in the house.
“It’s really disappointing that things came to this but it is not true.”
The singer also revealed how she nearly died while battling Covid.
“At some point, they lost me,” she said.
“I woke up some days later, a couple of days later and the first thing I remember is a team of doctors standing around me and asking if I knew what year it was,” she told the outlet.
“Going into the hospital I actually had Covid for over a week but my conditions were progressing in the wrong direction from home.
Kelly explained that “When it got to a point that my temperature had raised right to about 103 and my breathing got extremely shallow” her husband “called the ambulance” and she was forced to “go to the hospital.”
Why did the rumour start?
Back in July, she had revealed on social media that she had tested positive for Covid and was struggling with the symptoms.
Kelly’s family told TMZ that the singer had ended up in the ICU as her condition worsened.
She presumably stayed in the hospital for three weeks with her family being “in touch” with her and her children visiting “several times.”
And according to her family, they suddenly received a “surprising” call informing them that she had been discharged.
Her worried family alerted the authorities as they said they were under the impression she was “still not fully healthy.”
