Angela Chao, the sister-in-law of Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, was killed in a Car accident, her family announced on Tuesday.
Chao died at the age of 50 in the accident, NBC News reported. No details about what happened were immediately available.
Angela’s father, Chinese-American businessman James S.C. Chao, said his family was “heartbroken” to confirm her death.
“Angela’s name in Chinese sounds like the characters for peace and prosperity,” James Chow said in a statement.
“She certainly gave more than her share of both to this world,” he added. “Her absence leaves a void not only in our hearts, but in the Asian-American community.”
Angela Chao was the CEO of the shipping company Foremost Group, which her father founded.
Chao said his late daughter was “a wonderful and inquisitive companion” when he took her to his office in her youth during “Take Your Daughter to Work” days.
She would eventually run the company beginning in 2018.
