In a somber revelation, Carrie Romney, the sister-in-law of Mitt Romney, left behind a handwritten suicide note tucked into a Book of Mormon. Her tragic death, captured by surveillance footage moments before she fell from a parking structure in Valencia, adds layers of heartache to a family already navigating personal struggles. Authorities discovered Carrie had Xanax in her system, following reports of anxious behavior from onlookers just before her death.

Carrie’s husband, Scott Romney, had reported her missing, revealing a tumultuous backdrop including previous mental health struggles and the couple’s pending divorce. They had married in 2016, but the marriage faced significant strains as Scott filed for divorce in June, citing“irreconcilable differences.”The incident raises tough questions about mental health, family dynamics, and how we address such difficult issues in our lives. It’s a tragic reminder that our loved ones might be battling demons we are unaware of, reminding us to reach out to those in need.
