Georgia authorities are reportedly searching for Kelly Price.
According to TMZ, the National Crime Information Center has listed the 48-year-old singer as a missing person. The news comes nearly two months after Price announced she had been diagnosed with COVID-19, which ultimately landed her in the ICU.
“Am COVID Positive. I’m following Dr’s orders. I’m quarantined,” she captioned an Instagram video announcing her diagnosis. “Feeling really drained. Splitting headache but I’m not in the hospital. I’m grateful and expecting to have a quick recovery.”[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vk6nMrR3OsE&w=560&h=315]
Her family told TMZ that Price was admitted into a Georgia hospital in early August after her COVID symptoms continued to worsen. Price’s loved-ones reportedly kept in touch with her throughout her hospitalization, and even visited her several times; however, three weeks after she was admitted, the hospital informed her family that she had been discharged. Her relatives told TMZ the news was surprising, as Price was still struggling with the illness at the time she was released.
Her family claims they have not seen or heard from Price ever since, and that her boyfriend isn’t allowing anyone to visit her home. Concerns continued to grow over the following weeks, prompting her relatives to request a wellness check last Saturday. Though Cobb County officials said they found no evidence of a crime, they told TMZ that authorities are now trying to determine Price’s whereabouts.
