Suspicious Death of Mitch McConnell's Sister-in-Law

As the Wall Street Journal reports, the late Angela Chao, who was CEO of the Chinese shipping firm Foremost Group and the youngest sister of Sen. Mitch McConnell's wife Elaine, experienced a harrowing demise that her friends witnessed as her Tesla Model X SUV sunk slowly into a small stock pond.

The unfortunate incident occurred in February's Lunar New Year, the report noted, when the 50-year-old Chao and a bevy of her female friends were enjoying a lavish retreat at her Texas ranch. Because it had been a cold and dark night in the Austin area, the shipping magnate decided to make the short drive from her property's guest house to her main home when she accidentally put the car in reverse instead of drive — a mistake she'd made before, apparently.

Almost immediately upon making that ill-fated miscalculation, Chao called her friends who were just steps away, asking them if they could help her as her car began swiftly to sink. One jumped into the pond to try to save her friend. Ultimately, despite calling paramedics and other emergency officials, it took hours to get the car, with the CEO in it, out of the pond.

As such, conspiracy theories have cropped up in the long month since Chao's death, including some who claim that there could have been foul play based on her status as CEO of a shipping conglomerate — especially from alleged bad actors in China, where her parents were from.

"Does the Blanco County Sheriff have the technical capacity to investigate the Tesla Logs to determine if the car was tampered with or even hacked?" Texas-based hedge fund manager and apparent China-hater Kyle Bass tweeted on March 1. "This case continues to become more and more suspicious."

According to the article, the police are investing her death as a crime.

I keep a spring loaded window breaker in my car. According to the packaging details on my device, it is for use on tempered glass. Using it on laminated glass, such as the glass in Mitch McConnell's late billionaire sister-in-law's car, will void the warranty.

Things I find suspicious:

1) You claim you have a car.. but clearly have social anxiety or at the very least are socially awkward. Why would you need a car? It's not like you would go places where people are.
2) You claim to own a spring loaded window breaker. Sounds like a violent weapon.. something you wouldn't have the arm strength to use.. yet own.

Maybe instead of calling her friends, she should have rolled down the windows and gotten out.

That she did not -- or could not -- take that obvious action should make you suspicious.

Naw, I'm going with she was dumb.

Car lost power, no power can't open the windows, and apparently opening the door also becomes next to impossible, perhaps unbreakable glass is a poor design choice.

Waiting for "It's Elon Musk's fault" because he's African.

This pretty much solves the mystery.

I haven't seen articles outright blame Elon Musk or Tesla, but I have seen several headlines reading something like "McConnel's sister-in-law died in her Tesla."

Like, why mention it was a Tesla at all? I don't think I've ever seen a headline read something like "Baby was left in a hot Toyota and died."
