The following statement was issued today by Fiorina's chief of staff, Deborah Bowker, on behalf of the family: "Carly and Frank Fiorina are deeply saddened by the loss of their youngest daughter, Lori. This is a difficult time for the family and they appreciate all good thoughts, prayers, as well as, respect for their privacy during this time of grief and healing."

Not a Fiorina fan in the least, but that's just terrible. Does anyone have any idea what happened?

It really doesn't matter the circumstances of this loss. I knew Lori and she was a wonderful, warm and caring woman who is gone from this earth far too soon. Please respect the privacy of her family and friends as we grieve for her. All I can say is make sure you make every day and every moment count because you never know when it will be your last chance.

Having read the obituary, it appears that this was Carly Fiorina's step-daughter. Regardless, a terrible loss.
