The passenger who died after a severe jet turbulence incident in the skies above New England last week was a prominent lawyer who served on both the Clinton and Obama administrations, according to authorities.

The Connecticut State Troopers, one of the agencies investigating the March. 3 incident, on Monday named the deceased woman as 55-year-old Dana J. Hyde. She was one of five onboard the private jet, which made an emergency landing at Bradley International Airport in Connecticut after it hit heavy turbulence.
