Over 100 people are dead this week due to extreme flooding throughout central Texas. While thousands have been impacted by the natural disaster, among that death toll are 30 children, and one of them is related to Kansas City Chiefs owner Clark Hunt.
Janie Hunt, a nine-year-old cousin of Hunt, reportedly passed away as a result of the Texas floods that occurred over July 4th weekend. She was one of several missing campers from Camp Mystic in Texas Hill Country. Her body was later found and identified on Saturday afternoon, making the Hunt family’s worst fears come true.
Clark Hunt’s wife, Tavia, shared some of the family’s thoughts on Instagram after the horrific accident occurred.
“Our hearts are broken by the devastation from the floods . . . and the tragic loss of so many lives – including a precious Hunt cousin, along with several friends’ little girls,” Tavia Hunt wrote.
At least 27 campers and staff members from Camp Mystic have been uncovered in the aftermath of the Texas floods and the search is still ongoing for more victims.
Multiple sports franchises, including the Dallas Cowboys and Houston Texans have donated funds to the Texas flood relief efforts and after their experience, the Hunt family may be the next group of millionaires to contribute.
