Illinois gubernatorial candidate Darren Bailey's son, daughter-in-law and two grandchildren have been killed in a helicopter accident, his campaign said in a statement on Oct. 23.
Bailey's son Zachary, daughter-in-law Kelsey and two grandchildren, 12-year-old Vada Rose and 7-year-old Samuel, died in the crash, which occurred in Montana.
Another grandchild, 10-year-old Finn, was not on the helicopter and is safe, the statement said.
"Darren and Cindy are heartbroken by this unimaginable loss," the statement said. "They are finding comfort in their faith, their family, and the prayers of so many who love and care for them. The Baileys deeply appreciate the kindness and support they have received and ask for privacy as they grieve and hold their loved ones close during this difficult time."
