TEXAS - Police are probing the death of a congressional staffer whose body was found on fire at her home in Texas.
Regina Santos-Aviles, 35, was discovered by her mother, who called emergency crews to the Uvalde residence on the evening of September 13.
She was taken to Brooke Army Medical Center but died from her injuries the next morning, according to the Bexar County Medical Examiner’s Office.
Santos-Aviles, remembered by friends and family as a 'devoted mother' to her eight-year-old son, had served as the regional district director for Republican US Representative Tony Gonzales since 2021.
Uvalde Police Chief Homer Delgado said there was no indication of foul play, but the Texas Rangers are helping complete their investigation.
Santos-Aviles's mother, Nora Ann Gonzales, described the incident as a tragic accident and that her daughter's final words were: 'I don't want to die.'
'When we arrived, we learned of a fire behind the residence that had been put out with a fire extinguisher,' the fire department chief Mario Rangel told the San Antonio Express-News.
In a statement, Congressman Tony Gonzales said: 'We are all heart-stricken by the recent news.
