News anchor dies of heart attack at age 42 soon after starting new Mississippi TV job
Mississippi colleagues remember Celeste Wilson's professionalism and dedication after the 42-year-old weekend anchor died suddenly from a heart attack.
Celeste Wilson was only 42 years old, according to the "Today" show.
"We have some very sad news tonight about one of our own," WAPT anchor Troy Johnson said on the air this week.
Wilson started her career at a CBS affiliate in Monroe, Louisiana, before eventually arriving at the Jackson, Mississippi, ABC affiliate.
Wilson was a native of Louisiana and graduated from Northwestern State University before getting a master's degree at Arizona State University, her news anchor profile, which remains on the station's website, said.
"While she has held various roles throughout her professional career, her passion for journalism and storytelling drove her to pursue a path in Broadcast Journalism," the profile said.
Before joining WAPT, she worked at several other stations, including PBS.
"With a strong commitment to faith, family, community, and deep Mississippi ties, Celeste is excited to explore Jackson and share Mississippi's stories," the profile concluded.
