A cause of death for Chad Lowe\u2019s daughter Fiona, who died at the age of 13, has been revealed.\u00a0<\/p>\n

It was announced this week that Fiona had died<\/a>, with her family saying they were \u2018deeply heartbroken\u2019 while paying tribute to their second daughter.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Fiona, who was also the niece of Hollywood actor Rob Lowe, died at a hospital in Los Angeles on Tuesday, just weeks before she was due to celebrate her 14th birthday.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The County of Los Angeles Medical Examiner has now revealed her manner of death to be suicide. She was pronounced dead at the hospital at 1:14am on September 29 and her body can now be released to the family.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Alongside their statement on Wednesday confirming Fiona\u2019s death, the Lowe family included details for the US 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline for those struggling with their mental health<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Sharing the heartbreaking news, they said: \u2018She was adored by her sisters and she was deeply loved by her parents.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u2018In fact, she was the light of our lives. Her passing is devastating for our entire family, and we ask for prayers and privacy at this time.\u2019<\/p>\n

Chad, 58, shared Fiona and two other daughters with wife, Kim Painter; they are also parents to Mabel, 17, and Nixie, 10.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Fiona would have turned 14 in November, and for her birthday last year, Chad shared a sweet message on Instagram<\/a> to mark the milestone, writing: \u2018Celebrating Fiona officially becoming a teen today!! Keep dancing through life FiBear! Love you soooo much!!\u2019\u00a0<\/p>\n

The family\u2019s lives were uprooted in February 2025 when they lost their LA home in the Palisades wildfires.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Chad shared a photo of them embracing while visiting the property\u2019s ruins and said he was proud of how his daughters coped with the crisis.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The actor wrote: \u2018Almost a month after we evacuated our girls finally got to go back to see what\u2019s left of their home.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u2018The way they\u2019ve handled this whole devastating experience is nothing short of remarkable. I am in awe of their spirit and resilience. Helping them navigate these tough times is my sole purpose. Being their dad is my life\u2019s greatest joy and privilege.\u2019<\/p>\n

Chad continued: \u2018However, this terrible experience has been a powerful reminder of this simple truth \u2013 we can\u2019t always control what happens to us in this life but we can control how we respond. And I have been so incredibly proud of how my wife Kim and our daughters have strived to make the absolute best of this extraordinarily difficult circumstance. I am in awe of their resilience.\u2019\u00a0<\/p>\n

He is best known for roles in TV shows such as Pretty Little Liars and Supergirl, and won an Emmy<\/a> for 90s comedy-drama series Life Goes On.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Kim is Chad\u2019s second wife, and the two married in 2010, following his marriage to actress Hillary Swank from 1997 to 2007.<\/p>\n
