April 20 (UPI) -- Sen. Mark Warner announced Monday that his daughter, Madison Warner, died after decades of "health issues." She was 36.

In a post on X, the Virginia Democrat and his wife, Lisa Collis, didn't reveal the cause of their daughter's death, but said she had faced "a decades-long battle with juvenile diabetes and other health issues." They described themselves as "heartbroken beyond words."

"She filled our lives with love and laughter, and her absence leaves an immeasurable void," the statement said.

"We are grateful for the loving support of friends and family during this difficult time and ask for privacy as we navigate this profound loss."

In addition to her parents, Madison Warner is survived by two younger sisters, Gillian and Eliza, The Hill reported.
