Daughter-in-law of senator Bernie Sanders Raine Riggs passed away on 5th October 2019. She was 46 years of age.
Raine’s obituary on Lee & Martin Funeral Home cited cancer as the cause of death.

On the same day that Raine passed away, Bernie Sanders had returned home to recover from heart-attack. While campaigning in Vegas, the 2020 presidential hopeful had suffered severe chest pains.
Sources close to the Sanders family shared that Raine’s funeral would be held privately no public visitation.
