RadioOnFire.com - Tragedy struck Don Lemon and his family this week after the CNN host's older sister, L’Tanya “Leisa” Lemon Grimes, passed away Wednesday.
According to the Times-Picayune, the 58-year-old woman died in an accidental drowning in Livingston Parish, Louisiana, after falling into a pond. The pond was located in the Livingston Trace subdivision in Denham Springs, a suburb of Baton Rouge. Officers reportedly arrived at the scene around 4 p.m. on Wednesday.
"The Lemon/Grimes family would like to thank everyone for their condolences and prayers at this time. Our family has suffered the tragic loss of L'Tanya 'Leisa' Lemon Grimes and we are leaning on each other for strength at this time. We appreciate privacy as we grieve the loss of our loved one," the family said in a statement.
The drowning was believed to be accidental and no foul play is suspected, said an official with the Livingston Parish Sheriff's Office on Thursday. Grimes was fishing in the pond when it's believed she tripped and fell in.
Lemon, who hosts "CNN Tonight," shared a photo of his sister on Instagram Thursday along with the caption, "Thanks everyone for your words of sympathy. Please keep my family in your prayers. Leisa was my oldest sister & partner in crime growing up. Always had my back. #RIPbigSis"
