Chad Lowe's Daughter Fiona Dies at 13; Family Links Death to Palisades Fire Aftermath
The 13-year-old's death was ruled a suicide, with a family friend suggesting the loss of their home in the fire contributed to her struggles.
Fiona Lowe, the 13-year-old daughter of actor Chad Lowe, died last week in what has been ruled a suicide by the County of Los Angeles Medical Examiner. Her death occurred after the family lost their home in the Palisades fire.
A family friend indicated that Fiona's death followed the significant impact of losing "everything" in the fire. The blaze devastated parts of the affluent Pacific Palisades neighborhood, including Fiona and her sister Faith's elementary school.
Fiona was transported to a local hospital where she was pronounced dead. Her sister, Faith, shared a tribute describing Fiona as "a ray of light" and their close bond, noting they earned the nickname "FiFi" together and were known as "two peas in a pod."
In the aftermath of the fire, Chad Lowe posted a series of photos on Instagram showing his three daughters in protective masks and shoe coverings amidst the wreckage of their home. The images highlighted the destruction caused by the wildfire.
The Palisades fire, which broke out in late October 2023, was a destructive wildfire that burned through thousands of acres in Los Angeles County, displacing residents and causing significant damage to homes and infrastructure.
