A 26-year-old political writer and TV commentator died suddenly on Friday, a day after being hospitalized with swine flu, her friends and employer said.
Bre Payton, a staff writer at conservative news and opinion website The Federalist, was found “unresponsive and barely breathing” Thursday morning by a friend and was rushed to a San Diego hospital, according to a CaringBridge fundraising page set up for her.
Doctors did a CT scan and found that she had the H1N1 virus, commonly called the swine flu, and possibly meningitis, the fundraiser said.
“Thank you everyone for your prayers… Unfortunately Bre has passed. Please send prayers to her family. Rest in paradise you beautiful soul,” tweeted San Diego-area politician Morgan Murtaugh, who said she found Payton unconscious Thursday.
Others who worked with or knew Payton expressed their shock at her sudden death.
“Bre has passed,” The Federalist’s publisher Ben Domenech tweeted. “We are devastated. Last we saw her, she was her funny, smart, vivacious self. Now lost to us so suddenly.”
Meghan McCain also tweeted her condolences, saying that she and Domenech, her husband, are “absolutely gutted and horrified by this news.”
“We are less without her – in every possible way,” McCain wrote. “A wonderful, fearless, vibrant, intelligent young woman. Sending prayers to all of her family and friends during this darkness.”
Payton, a writer based in Washington, was in California this week guest hosting a show on the One America News Network, according to Fox News. On Wednesday she’d asked her followers to tune in to see her on TV.
The California native graduated from Patrick Henry College with a degree in political journalism and is survived by her parents and four siblings.
An obituary on The Federalist called Payton “joyful, hard-working and compassionate” and said she had a deep Christian faith.
She was a frequent guest on Fox News and also appeared on MSNBC, CNN, NPR and BBC World News.
In a recent appearance on Fox, Payton had condemned what she called “fake, fake, fake news” coverage of President Trump and criticized reporting about first lady Melania Trump as “sexist.”
