Janie Hunt, a 9-year-old who was a relative of Kansas City Chiefs owner Clark Hunt, was killed in the flooding that hit Texas over the weekend while attending Camp Mystic.
Janie’s mother and grandmother both confirmed the deaths to various news outlets. Clark’s wife, Tavia Hunt, addressed it in an Instagram post.
“Our hearts are broken by the devastation from the floods in Wimberley and the tragic loss of so many lives – including a precious little Hunt cousin, along with several friend’s little girls,” she wrote.
It was Janie’s first time at Camp Mystic and she was joined by six of her cousins who survived, her grandmother, Margaret Hunt, told the New York Times.
According to the Kansas City Star, Janie was the great-granddaughter of William Herbert Hunt, who was the brother of Chiefs founder Lamar Hunt. Clark, the current principal owner of the team, is Lamar’s son.
As of Monday, the death toll from Camp Mystic in Kerrville, Texas had reached at least 27 counselors and campers. The total number of deaths from the flooding along Guadalupe River has reached 111 with 161 people in Kerr County alone still missing as of Wednesday morning, according to Texas governor Greg Abbott.
