The passenger killed on a private jet that experienced severe turbulence while flying over New England last week has been identified as a prominent Washington lawyer who served on both the Clinton and Obama administrations.
Also an alumnus of The National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States - better known as the 9/11 Commission - Dana J. Hyde's name was released by Connecticut cops investigating the incident on Monday.
Hyde, 55, was one of five onboard the DC-bound aircraft, which was forced to divert to Bradley International Airport in Connecticut late Friday afternoon after encountering the unforeseen instability.
Others onboard included Hyde's husband and son, as well as two crew members - all of whom survived. The family had reportedly been heading back to their home in Cabin John, Maryland when the turbulence unexpectedly hit.
The plane had been traveling from Keene, New Hampshire, before diverting to Bradley, where the high-profile attorney was rushed to a hospital and pronounced dead.
In a statement Monday that offered insight into authorities' ongoing probe into the ex-White House staffer's death - which is also being investigated by the FBI - the Connecticut State Troopers confirmed the private aircraft belonged to a company headed by Hyde's spouse, Jonathan Chambers.
In the role, Hyde served as co-chair of the Aspen Partnership for an Inclusive Economy (APIE), which, according to the agency's website, 'works to bridge the gaps between the people who deserve more inclusive systems and standards and the people who set them.'
Officials said Hyde was immediately transported to Saint Francis Medical Center in Hartford, Connecticut, after the plane landed Friday, where she was pronounced dead that evening.
No one else was injured in the incident, with officials confirming that both Chambers and one of the couple's two children were on board

I’m surprised that the FBI is the only one mentioned as investigating. I thought the NTSB would get first crack, even though it doesn’t involve a crash.
She served evil people.
Arkancide at 30,000 feet.
Is there nothing that Hillary Clinton can’t manage?
Never heard of her.
Clintoon-Obammy shyster?
That’s a shame...
No loss. Many more in the DC area like this lawyer and who apparently think they are too good to wear a seatbelt.
The NTSB is investigating. I read the preliminary report earlier today.
Hillary arranged for Xi to have a balloon bump into the jet?
Seriously, do NOT fly without your seatbelt buckled.
I pity her husband and son watching her die like that. How awful.
Bit extreme - even for the Clintons.
Anyone ever hear of death by turbulence? before?
“In the role, Hyde served as co-chair of the Aspen Partnership for an Inclusive Economy, which...’works to bridge the gaps between the people who deserve more inclusive systems and standards and the people who set them.’”
Sound like the country is better off without him.
I remember reading about incidents in the past. I recall a case where an elderly gentleman was injured and died a few days later.
Ron Browned?
I recall reading about a woman who was left paralyzed after flying out of her seat and breaking her neck during extreme turbulence.
That's why I always remain buckled.
Somewhere, someone is with Hillary Clinton saying, Hold muh beer and watch this.
