Megan Hilty’s sister, brother-in-law, and their kid were killed in an aircraft tragedy. Lauren, Megan’s sister, Ross Mickel, and their kid Remy were onboard a floatplane that crashed into Puget Sound near Washington’s Whidbey Island on September 4, 2022. Lauren was nine months pregnant when she died. In an interview with King 5, Mickel’s family stated:
“We are heartbroken and grieved by the death of our dear Ross Mickel, Lauren Hilty, Remy, and their unborn baby boy, Luca.” Our mutual anguish is indescribable.”
When the floatplane crashed, a search team was sent to locate all of the missing passengers and the pilot. The hunt was called off on Monday, September 5, 2022, when one corpse was discovered. The reason of the accident is yet unclear.
My condolences and deepest sympathy to actress Megan Hilty & her family, losing three love ones in plane crush.
