Ashley Turton, wife of the Obama administration's House of Representatives liaison, Dan Turton, was found dead in a burning car Monday morning, Roll Call and other news outlets are reporting.
Fire officials said it appeared the car crashed as it was pulling in or out of the garage behind a rowhouse in the Capitol Hill neighborhood of Washington, D.C., at about 5 a.m. Neighbors dialed 911 after spotting the fire.
The body was discovered after fire crews doused the blaze. The fire also charred part of the garage. Nobody in the house was injured, fire officials said.
Ashley Turton worked as a lobbyist for the utility giant Progress Energy, according to Politico. She was a former staffer for U.S. Rep. Rosa DeLauro, D-Conn.
Metropolitan Police Lt. Nicholas Breul told Roll Call a joint investigation is underway. Homicide detectives were called to the scene.
"This could be just a tragic freak accident," Breul said, adding there was no indication that there was a crime committed.
The White House had no immediate comment on the incident.

If this were a novel, civil unrest would be around the corner.

“What in the world is going on?! “
It’s hard not to link up all thje strange stuff the news is reporting.
Mail blowing up or burning, a rash of “white powder” events, Gabrielle’s shooting, now this too?
At least we can’t tie in snow in Louisiana, unless someone in an undisclosed location found the keys to the Rove Weather Machine.
I hope the aide’s wife’s demise was truly an accident. I hope her family is OK.
