Devon Dalio, the son of billionaire hedge fund founder Ray Dalio, was killed in a car crash Thursday afternoon, a family spokesperson confirmed to the Connecticut Post.

Devon, who was 42 at the time of death, was driving an Audi that crashed into a Verizon store in Greenwich, Connecticut, where it burst into flames, Greenwich police and Fire Chief Joseph McHugh told the Post. Investigators on Friday were still trying to determine what caused Dalio to crash.

His father shared the somber news in a tweet Friday.

“It is with great pain that I am sharing with you that my 42-year-old son was killed in a car crash yesterday,” said Ray Dalio, the founder and co-chief investment officer of Bridgewater Associates, the world’s largest hedge fund. “My family and I are mourning and processing and would prefer to be incommunicado for the time being.

Devon, Ray and his wife Barbara’s eldest son, was the cofounder and partner of the private-equity firm P-Squared Management Enterprises, according to his LinkedIn page. He is survived by a wife and daughter.

He also served as a board member of his family’s foundation, Dalio Philanthropies, and he was interested in supporting health, veterans, and animal welfare, a spokesperson told the Connecticut Post.

“We know that the terrible pain we are feeling has been and continues to be felt by so many others so our sympathies go out to them,” Ray Dalio said in a subsequent tweet. “May God be with you and may you cherish your blessings, especially at this time of year.” Read more from Business Insider.
