Rep. Tony Gonzales (R-TX) had an alleged affair with a senior aide before she doused herself with gasoline and set herself on fire.
Multiple sources confirmed the alleged affair to the Daily Mail.

Her family insisted at the time that she did not intentionally start the fire and that she did not want to kill herself. As the New York Post noted at the time:
Officials did not say whether she deliberately started the fatal blaze, but the Uvalde Police Department said it does not suspect anybody else was involved in her death or that there was any foul play.
Despite the report of apparent self-immolation, her family remained adamant that whatever happened was accidental.
Santos-Aviles was alone when the fire started, home surveillance footage obtained by investigators showed.
Her alleged last words were “I don’t want to die,” according to a family member. She left behind an eight-year-old son and a husband, from whom she had been separated for several months. Several anonymous sources told the Daily Mail that she became romantically involved with Gonzales after joining his staff in November 2021. A spokesman for the congressman refused to deny the affair when questioned.
