Very important snippet from Lei's video above. Lei says, "Think about it.

Angela Chao, CEO of Foremost Group and the sister-in-law of Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, died after her car went into a pond on a private ranch about 40 miles west of Austin, Texas, authorities said Friday.

Chao’s family on Wednesday announced she died in a car accident on Sunday, but did not disclose details of the incident at that time.

On Friday, the Blanco County Sheriff’s Office said in a statement that on Saturday, it “responded to a possible water rescue on a private ranch located in Blanco County, TX.”

“On arrival Blanco County deputies along with Blanco County EMS and Fire recovered the body of Angela Chao from a pond on the ranch,” the statement said.

“EMS attempted emergency measures on Ms. Chao but she succumbed from being under the water,” the statement said. “Our preliminary investigation has determined this to be an unfortunate accident. The investigation is ongoing at this time,” the statement also said.

The name of the ranch, which is located in Johnson City, was not disclosed by the sheriff’s office.

Chao, a double Harvard graduate who became CEO of the dry bulk shipping company Foremost in 2018, was married to Jim Breyer, a venture capitalist from Austin who is part owner of the National Basketball Association’s Boston Celtics.

Chao previously served on the board of the Bank of China and as a director of the China State Shipbuilding Corporation.

She is the sister of Elaine Chao, who is married to McConnell, R-Ky. Chao served as Secretary of Transportation in former President Donald Trump’s administration and as Secretary of Labor in the administration of former President George W. Bush.

Blanco County EMS Chief Ben Oakley told CNBC in a prior interview that emergency personnel were called just after midnight Sunday to respond to a “water rescue” at a private property in Johnson City.

Oakley did not use the name of the victim of that rescue, citing privacy laws.

An ambulance arrived at 12:12 a.m. at the scene, where a car containing one person was “completely submerged” in a pond, estimated to be between 12 feet and 15 feet deep, Oakley said.

The woman in the car was “extricated from the vehicle,” and rescue workers tried to resuscitate her “for 43 minutes” without success, the chief said.

Oakley said there was no indication of how the car ended up in the pond.

He declined to identify who called rescue workers or who owned the property, saying that was information he could not release.

Chao’s father, James Chao, on Wednesday said her family was “heartbroken” over her death. The family did not give any information about her cause of death, other than saying it was the result of a car accident.

James Chao founded Foremost Group in 1964.

Angela Chao had held board positions on the American Bureau of Shipping Council, Harvard Business School’s Board of Dean’s Advisors and the Metropolitan Opera in New York.

Chao previously was married to investment banker Bruce Wasserstein, who died in 2009, the same year they wed.

Angela Chao, the sister-in-law of Sen. Mitch McConnell, may have drowned after crashing her car into a body of water on private property in Texas’ Hill Country, according to a report.

The billionaire shipping executive’s shocking death was announced over the weekend by her grieving family, but few details have been made available about the fatal accident.

The Blanco County Sherriff’s Office said Chao’s body was found on a private tract of land about 60 miles west of her home in Austin, Texas, the Austin American-Statesman. reported Thursday.

A law enforcement source told the outlet that Chao, 50, possibly drowned after her car was found submerged in a body of water on the property — located in a rugged area dotted with multimillion second homes along rolling hills favored by many of the state’s wealthiest residents.

The cause of her death has not been determined.

The source told the publication that authorities do not expect foul play.

The Post has sought comment from Blanco County Sheriff’s Office.

Chao, the CEO of bulk dry shipping giant Foremost Group, lived in Austin with her husband, venture capitalist Jim Breyer — a part-owner of the Boston Celtics who has an estimated net worth of $2.9 billion — and the 3-year-old son they shared.

Breyer Capital, which has worked with the likes of Meta, Spotify and Etsy since Breyer founded it in 2006, is headquartered in Austin.

Chao, one of six daughters, including former cabinet member Elaine Chao, was a visionary who graduated summa cum laude from Harvard University in three years before obtaining her MBA at Harvard Business School.

In 2016, she became CEO of the family business founded in 1964 by her father, who currently serves as Foremost’s honorary chairman.

Chao’s case study, titled “Ocean Carriers,” which she wrote while attending the Ivy League school, is a part of the required curriculum for first-year business students at Harvard, according to Foremost’s statement on Chao’s passing published by Hellenic Shipping News.

She was an advocate for environmentally sustainable business practices and the reason for the group’s sustainable operations and its eco-friendly vessels, the company said.

“As a trail blazer for women in the executive suite, she inspired others to pursue their dreams. She also loved music and tried the French horn as her instrument when young, insisting on carrying it herself to every lesson,” the Chao family added.

At various points in her career, she served on the board of MoMA, the Metropolitan Opera and Harvard Business School.

Her father, Dr. James SC Chao, remembered his youngest daughter as having a “fierce intellectual curiosity that endeared her to everyone and helped her excel at everything she did.”

“She placed special emphasis on paying attention to the care and well-being of our crews, and to everyone onboard and onshore who played a role in performing our services. As a result, her leadership in the shipping industry was widely recognized,” the grieving father wrote in a statement on Feb. 12 earlier reported on by Marine Link.

James Chao, who would bring her to “Take Your Daughter to Work” days as a child, said she had a “fierce intellectual curiosity that endeared her to everyone and helped her excel at everything she did.”

Elaine Chao was the Secretary of Labor in George W. Bush’s administration from 2001 to 2009 and the Secretary of Transportation in Donald Trump’s cabinet from 2017 to 2021.

She was the first Asian-American woman in history to serve in the cabinet and is married to McConnell, the Senate Minority Leader.

Angela Chao was a founding advisory council co-chair of the The Asian American Foundation — which called her “a beloved businesswoman, philanthropist and respected leader” in the wake of her sudden death.

James Chao added that “her absence leaves a void not only in our hearts, but in the Asian-American community.”

Chao had previously been married to billionaire banker Bruce Wasserstein.

He died in 2009, just months after they wed, following a stint in the hospital for an irregular heartbeat.

Angela Chao, a shipping company CEO and the sister-in-law of Republican leader Mitch McConnell who died in a car wreck over the weekend, was believed to have drowned on private Texas property after her car crashed into a 'body of water.'

Police investigating the incident do not suspect foul play at this time, an official told the Austin American-Statesman.

Chao's death has not been officially determined, however, she is believed to have possibly drowned after her car entered a body of water on the property, according to investigators.

The Blanco County Sheriff's Office has not yet released any information legally required under Texas law, including the location and time of Chao's death, according to the Stateman.

Chao was not involved politically but served as CEO of the American shipping company Foremost Group and was the sister of former Secretary of Transportation Elaine Chao, McConnell's wife.

Chao's, 50, father, James S.C. Chao, remembered his youngest daughter as 'thoughtful, kind and devoted' as well as being a much-loved 'charismatic and visionary leader.'

He said in a statement: 'It is with a heavy heart and deep sadness that I announce the passing of my beloved youngest daughter, Angela Chao.

'Angela is a brilliant woman, a charismatic and visionary leader and much-loved by all her sisters, our entire family and friends. As a daughter, sister, mother, aunt, wife and friend, she was unfailingly filial, thoughtful, kind and devoted.

'These qualities were complemented by a spirited personality, exceptional intelligence, compassion for all and a wonderful sense of humor. She kept us laughing and smiling.

'Losing her at such a young age is something we never even imagined, and our entire family is devastated with grief.'

The family added: 'As a trail blazer for women in the executive suite, she inspired others to pursue their dreams. She also loved music and tried the French horn as her instrument when young, insisting on carrying it herself to every lesson.

'These early experiences created a lifelong, passionate commitment to the fine arts.

'Angela’s name in Chinese sounds like the characters for peace and prosperity. She certainly gave more than her share of both to this world. Her absence leaves a void not only in our hearts, but in the Asian-American community.'

Angela Chao was married to American venture capitalist Jim Breyer, who has an estimated net worth of $2.9billion. She was previously married to billionaire banker Bruce Wasserstein - who died in 2009, just months after they wed.

The Chao family is the only one in the history of the school to have had four daughters attend the Harvard Business School. Angela completed her bachelor's in economics, graduating with summa cum laude, in just three years.

She then went on to attend Harvard Business School before joining over her father's company, The Foremost Group, in 1996. She was remembered for her 'pioneering leadership' and for being a 'formidable executive' in the shipping industry.

Chao became the chief executive officer of the company in 2018.

In June 2016, Chao was also appointed as independent director of the board of the Bank of China.

Angela Chao was a founding advisory council co-chair of The Asian American Foundation - who gave a statement on the news of her tragic death.

The nonprofit said: 'The Asian American Foundation is heartbroken to learn of the devastating death of Angela Chao, a beloved businesswoman, philanthropist and respected leader.

'Angela has left an indelible mark on The Asian American Foundation and the AAPI community.

'A brilliant and committed leader, Angela's warmth, kindness, and infectious energy will live on in our work for decades to come.'

The Foremost Group released the following statement: 'It is with deep sadness that Foremost Group announces the passing of Angela Chao in a tragic car accident.

'Angela Chao was a formidable executive and shipping industry leader, as well as a proud and loving daughter, sister, aunt, wife and mother. She was also a precocious youngster, learning about the shipping industry at an early age as she lovingly followed her father around during 'Take Your Daughter to Work' days on his ships.

'She placed special emphasis on paying attention to the care and well-being of our crews, and to everyone onboard and onshore who played a role in performing our services. As a result, her leadership in the shipping industry was widely recognized.

'Among other honors, she served as a Board Member of the American Bureau of Shipping Council, as well as a Board Member of the Massachusetts Maritime Academy's International Maritime Business Department Advisory Board.

'She will be greatly missed and leaves a legacy of pioneering leadership — especially for women — in shipping, philanthropy and the arts.'

It's unclear when or where the fatal wreck happened.
