Sheriff Office Confirms Mitch McConnell’s Sister-in-law Angela Chao Drowned After Car Went into Texas Pond

As The Gateway Pundit previously reported, the sister-in-law of Senator Mitch McConnell, Angela Chao, died last week in a tragic “accident.”

Angela Chao, who is the sister of former U.S. Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao, served as the CEO of the dry bulk company The Foremost Group, a company with deep connections to the Chinese Communist Party.

In an initial statement, the Foremost Group stated Angela Chao died in a “tragic car accident” but gave no further details on how the accident occurred.

Now, a week later, the Blanco County Sheriff’s Office has revealed Chao died after her car went into a pond located on a private ranch located 40 miles outside of Austin, Texas.

The Blanco County Sheriff’s Office, in a statement, disclosed that EMS crews “responded to a possible water rescue on a private ranch located in Blanco County, TX.”

The statement continued, “On arrival, Blanco County deputies along with Blanco County EMS and Fire recovered the body of Angela Chao from a pond on the ranch…EMS attempted emergency measures on Ms. Chao, but she succumbed from being under the water.”

Per CNBC:

Angela Chao, CEO of Foremost Group and the sister-in-law of Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, died after her car went into a pond on a private ranch about 40 miles west of Austin, Texas, authorities said Friday.

Chao’s family on Wednesday announced she died in a car accident on Sunday, but did not disclose details of the incident at that time.

On Friday, the Blanco County Sheriff’s Office said in a statement that on Saturday, it “responded to a possible water rescue on a private ranch located in Blanco County, TX.”

“On arrival Blanco County deputies along with Blanco County EMS and Fire recovered the body of Angela Chao from a pond on the ranch,” the statement said.

“EMS attempted emergency measures on Ms. Chao but she succumbed from being under the water,” the statement said. “Our preliminary investigation has determined this to be an unfortunate accident. The investigation is ongoing at this time,” the statement also said.

Before the Blanco County Sherrif’s office made their announcement, Kyle Bass, the CIO of Hayman Capital Management, reported last week, “Chao entered her Tesla and backed into a pond on the ranch and passed away.”

Brian Costello then shared Bass’s report on Steve Bannon’s War Room.
