Press release from the Florida Senate:
With great sadness, I am providing the following update to the Senate family on behalf of
President Passidomo.
Monday afternoon, while hiking with the President in Utah, the First Gentleman, Mr. John
Passidomo, fell and suffered massive trauma to his head, among other very serious injuries. Mr.
Passidomo was transported from the trail by ambulance to a local hospital, and shortly thereafter
by air to a regional trauma center. After a thorough evaluation by the very best medical teams
over the next 24 hours, the President was advised that Mr. Passidomo would not survive these
severe injuries. Their family quickly traveled to Utah and with the President and their three
daughters by his side, the First Gentleman passed away peacefully at 3:21 p.m. EDT.
