Angela Chao Dies in Tragic Tesla Pond Accident

The billionaire's frantic call for help went unanswered as her vehicle submerged, sparking an ongoing criminal investigation.

Angela Chao, Sen. Mitch McConnell's billionaire sister-in-law, died after her Tesla sank in a pond on her Texas ranch.
Chao made a frantic call to friends for help after accidentally putting her car in reverse, leading to the vehicle's submersion.
Emergency units arrived nearly half an hour after the call was made, but rescue efforts were hampered by the terrain and the car's electric nature.
Despite attempts to resuscitate her, Chao was declared unresponsive after being pulled from the vehicle.
The incident is still under investigation as a criminal matter, despite initial findings suggesting it was an accident.
