We have new details this morning concerning the death of billionaire shipping CEO, Angela Chao, who was pulled from her submerged Tesla. Chao is the sister-in-law of Senator Mitch McConnell, and she died after mistakenly backing her Tesla into a pond last month in Texas. According to reports, she made a frantic call to her friend in the final moments as her car was sinking.
Her death at age 15 in Austin, Texas last month was initially described as a car crash. However, new reporting reveals that she drowned in a pond at her Texas ranch as she accidentally put her Tesla in reverse. Chao was spending a holiday weekend in mid-February with friends from Harvard Business School. After dinner at a guest house, she got into her car to make a short drive back to the main house where her son was sleeping. Unfortunately, she mistakenly reversed the car, causing it to plunge into a pond.
