In addition, she said,”To make this news even more devastating, my sister was eight months pregnant and we were expecting to welcome baby boy Luca into the world next month.” According to Fox News, Hilty felt that though it was the “last thing” she wanted to do, because unreliable news sources made her feel it necessary.
