Actor Chad Lowe and producer Kim Painter are mourning the death of their 13-year-old daughter, Fiona Hepler Lowe, and many readers are asking how she died. As of Wednesday, September 30, the family has not disclosed a cause of death, and no official cause has been publicly released.
The family announced Fiona's passing in a statement to media on Tuesday, September 29. They remembered her as a loving, creative girl who loved to dance and called her "the light of our lives." They said her death is devastating for the whole family and asked for prayers and privacy.
The statement closed by urging anyone struggling with mental health to reach out to the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline by calling or texting 988. The family did not explain why they included it, and JubileeCast will not speculate. Some websites have claimed the family confirmed a cause of death, but the statement does not say that.
Fiona was born November 16, 2012, and was the middle of three daughters, alongside sisters Mabel, 17, and Nixie, 10. Lowe, 58, known for "Life Goes On" and "Pretty Little Liars," is the younger brother of actor Rob Lowe. The family lost their Pacific Palisades home in the January 2025 wildfires.
For those who want to respond with care, the family's request is clear: pray, and respect their privacy. Psalm 34:18 says the Lord is near to the brokenhearted, a promise many Christians are holding onto for this grieving family.
