Chad Lowe and Family Mourn Death of 13-Year-Old Daughter Fiona

Emergency services responded to the Lowe residence at 12:10 a.m. on September 29, transporting the teenager to a local hospital where she was pronounced dead shortly after. While the family initially maintained privacy regarding the circumstances, they later issued a statement honoring Fiona as a smart, creative girl who loved to dance, while urging those in mental-health crises to utilize the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline.

Friends and family describe a profound shift in the household following the 2021 fire, which scorched 37 square miles and destroyed thousands of structures in the region. Mykesha Robinson, a family friend whose daughter was once inseparable from Fiona, noted that the loss of their home and community environment weighed heavily on the young girl. In the months leading up to her death, Fiona had become increasingly withdrawn, with former friends unable to reconnect with her online. Fiona’s older sister, Mabel, shared a poignant tribute on social media, expressing hope that her sibling’s mind is finally at ease.
