Medical Examiner Confirms Suicide in Death of Chad Lowe’s 13-Year-Old Daughter Fiona
Fiona Lowe, the 13-year-old daughter of actor Chad Lowe and producer Kim Painter, died by suicide on September 29, 2026. The Los Angeles County Medical Examiner confirmed the cause of death, a detail not included in the family’s initial public statement. The family described Fiona as 'the light of our lives' and urged those struggling with mental health to contact the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline. Fiona was the middle child of the couple, who also have daughters Mabel, 17, and Nixie, 10. Her death was confirmed by an email from her school, which offered counseling resources without naming the student. Chad Lowe, known for 'Pretty Little Liars' and '9-1-1: Lone Star,' frequently shared photos of his family on social media, including a post from Fiona’s 13th birthday in November 2025. Her grandfather, Chuck Lowe, also paid tribute on social media. The family had previously faced trauma when their Los Angeles home was destroyed in the 2025 Palisades Fire.
