Solovey’s death was confirmed by lawyers for Hutchins’ family, who said she was living in Kyiv, Ukraine, when she died on Feb. 24. Solovey was “heartbroken because of the sudden and unexpected death of Halyna,” a statement read.
In order to continue seeking Solovey’s consortium claims related to Hutchins’ death, the family’s legal team stated that will be filing an “Application for the Appointment of Limited Representative in New Mexico” with Solovey’s surviving daughter, Svetlana Zemko. They also plan to file a motion to have Solovey’s estate officially substituted as a party in their legal action.
“Olga’s death will not deter us from seeking justice in Olga’s name,” attorneys vowed in their statement.
