Philanthropist Dies in Tulare County Crash
Authorities in Tulare County announced Friday that they have identified a body recovered there as that of Elizabeth Whiting, 66, of Pasadena.
Whiting had been reported missing July 1 after failing to arrive at a family vacation home at Shaver Lake in Fresno County.
Her body and car were found partially submerged in the Tule River. Whiting, who was known to have suffered mini-strokes, may have veered off the road, police said. There was no evidence of foul play.
Whiting was known in Pasadena for her philanthropic work with organizations such as the Pasadena Symphony, the Huntington Library, the Pacific Asia Museum, the Junior League of Pasadena and the Achievement Rewards for College Scientists Foundation.
