Prior to her death, Carrie Romney reportedly left a note, with surveillance footage showing her pacing on the rooftop for an extended duration. The note was later discovered inside her vehicle.

Medical Findings and Investigation

The Los Angeles County Medical Examiner has classified her death as a suicide, resulting from blunt-force injuries. A toxicology report confirmed the presence of the drug alprazolam, commonly known as Xanax.

Personal Circumstances

Carrie was married to George Scott Romney, the older brother of former Senator Mitt Romney. However, the couple had been involved in a contentious divorce proceeding prior to her death. They cited “irreconcilable differences” as the reason for their split after eight years of marriage.

  • Location: Santa Clarita, California
  • Cause of death: Suicide by blunt-force injuries
  • Toxicology report: Positive for alprazolam
  • Years married: 8
  • Divorce filing year: 2025

During their divorce proceedings, both Carrie and George sought to prevent the other from accessing their assets. This legal battle added stress to an already difficult situation.
