Fiona Lowe, daughter of actor Chad Lowe, died by suicide, medical examiner confirms

The teenage daughter of actor Chad Lowe died by suicide, according to the Los Angeles County medical examiner's office, two days after her death. Fiona Lowe, 13, was pronounced dead at a hospital. Fiona, the second of three daughters of Lowe and producer Kim Painter, was described by her parents as a loving, intelligent, and creative girl passionate about dance. The family, who lost their Pacific Palisades home in the January 2025 wildfires, has requested privacy and shared a suicide prevention hotline number. The death highlights a broader public health concern, as a Pan American Health Organization study found suicide rose 38% in 20 years and is the third leading cause of death for ages 10-24. The sharpest increase was among girls aged 10 to 14.
