Angela Chao, sister-in-law to Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, died after her Tesla submerged in a Texas pond, sparking an investigation.
- Angela Chao, CEO of Foremost Group and sister-in-law to Mitch McConnell, died last month after her Tesla submerged in a pond on her Texas ranch.
- The incident occurred when Chao mistakenly put her vehicle in reverse instead of drive, causing it to back into the pond.
- Emergency responders arrived at the scene but were unable to save Chao despite efforts to break into the submerged vehicle.
- The Blanco County Sheriff's Office is investigating the incident as a criminal matter until they can rule out criminal activity.
- Following Chao's death, McConnell announced he would step down from his leadership position but remain in Congress through the end of his term.
