Mitt Romney's Sister-In-Law Found Dead

Footage showing law enforcement's investigation saw police tape blocking the entrance to much of the scene.

Multiple police vehicles responded to the scene.

The two-time presidential candidate comes from a large family, with three older siblings and his wife Ann, who has two older brothers. The couple have five sons.

The Romney family is notoriously close and competitive, with The Washington Post once profiling the then-30 person brood's annual family Olympics on Lake Winnipesaukee in New Hampshire.

Similarly, the former governor often championed his status as a family man when he ran for national office in 2008 and 2012.

Mitt Romney's lengthy career in Republican politics includes a defeat to Barack Obama in the 2012 general election.

In 2008, he lost the Republican Primary before endorsing the eventual presidential runner-up, John McCain.

He was also the only member of his party to vote to convict Trump of impeachment twice.

Romney served as governor of Massachusetts from 2003 to 2007 and the junior senator from Utah from 2018 to 2024.

He retired instead of trying to run for re-election, having said the country's many challenges call for a younger generation of leaders.

Romney said the U.S. would be better served if the two front-runners for their parties' 2024 presidential nominations - Democratic President Joe Biden and Republican former President Donald Trump - stepped aside.

'The times we're living in redemand the next generation step up and express their point of view and to make the decisions that will shape American politics over the coming century,' Romney said in a news conference at the Capitol.

He said baby boomers like him are 'not the right ones to be making the decisions for tomorrow.'

Romney's most recent public appearance came at a forum at Drew University in New Jersey in late September.
