FrilansjournalistPowell var landets försvarschef mellan år 1989-1993 och blev landets första afroamerikanska utrikesminister år 2001.
Hans felaktiga uttalande i FN om att Saddam Hussein gömde kärnvapen i landet vilket ledde till USA:s invasion av Irak, blev mycket uppmärksammat och kritiserat. Han ångrade uttalandet offentligt sju år senare. Under valåren 2008 och 2012 stödde han öppet Barack Obama som presidentkandidat.
Powell led sedan tidigare av multipelt mylinom, cancer i benmärgen, vilket gjorde honom särskilt sårbar för infektioner, enligt CNBC. Powells familj skriver att han var fullvaccinerad, i ett inlägg på Facebook. Han blev 84 år gammal.
