Carrie Elizabeth Romney, the sister-in-law of former presidential candidate and current Utah Senator Mitt Romney, was found dead on a street in a Los Angeles suburb on Friday evening. The 64-year-old woman’s body was discovered near a shopping mall parking garage in Valencia, California, around 8:30 p.m., according to officials and multiple reports.
The Los Angeles County coroner’s office has completed its examination of the body and it is now ready for release. However, the cause of Romney’s death remains under investigation. The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department’s homicide bureau has suggested that Romney may have fallen or jumped from the multi-story parking garage. At this point, no foul play is suspected.
The discovery of Romney’s body has initiated an investigation into the circumstances surrounding her death. Authorities are working diligently to reconstruct the events leading up to the incident. Both the sheriff’s department and the medical examiner’s office have been contacted for additional information.
Romney’s death has sent shockwaves through the community and beyond. As the sister-in-law to a prominent political figure, her sudden and unexpected death has drawn national attention. However, the focus remains on determining the cause of her death and providing closure for her family.
While the investigation is ongoing, authorities have been careful to avoid speculation. The possibility of an accident has not been ruled out, but the absence of any signs of foul play has led investigators to consider other potential causes.
The incident has also raised questions about the safety of the parking garage where Romney was found. If it is determined that she fell or jumped from the structure, it could lead to a review of safety measures in place.
As the investigation continues, the Romney family is mourning the loss of their loved one. The family has yet to release a public statement regarding the incident.
