Chao’s friends attempted to rescue her by swimming near her car and paddling with a kayak, until at 11:55 pm., law enforcement was notified. When police enforcement and firefighters came to the scene, they quickly dived into the water to shatter the Tesla window and rescue Angela Chao. Unfortunately, she was declared dead at 1:40 pm. on February 11, 2024.
After a thorough investigation by law enforcement, toxicology results revealed that Angela Chao’s blood alcohol concentration level was 0.233 grams per 100 milliliters, which is three times more than the legal limit in Texas, which is around 0.08.
Chao served as the president of Foremost Foundation, her father, James S.C. Chao’s charitable organization, and as chairwoman and CEO of the Foremost Group, the shipping company. She resided in Austin, roughly 50 miles east of Blanco County.
Her parents immigrated to the United States from China in the late 1950s. She was the youngest of six sisters. Elaine Chao, her eldest sibling, is married to McConnell and was George W. Bush’s labor secretary and President Donald Trump’s transportation secretary. After her demise, her father, James S.C. Chao, took over as the chairman of Foremost Group. Former president Michael Lee resumed the position of president at the Foremost Foundation.
Chao leaves behind her father, four sisters, and husband.
“Angela’s name in Chinese sounds like the characters for peace and prosperity. Her absence leaves a void not only in our hearts but in the Asian-American community.”
