Manhattan socialite Patti Raines was found dead in her Wellington, Fla., home Thursday morning by her housekeeper, Page Six learned. , her family believes she died of an asthma-related problem.
Her mother, Barbara Davis, said through a rep: I am devastated to share that my daughter passed away early today after suffering an asthma infection, Patti left a hole in our hearts that cannot be filled. Thank you for your thoughts, prayers, and respect for our privacy during this unimaginable time. ”
Raines, who was an accomplished equestrian, suffers from severe asthma and was hospitalized last week for difficulty breathing.

Laine is the eldest daughter of oil tycoon Marvin Davis, and her family was one of the inspirations behind the Carrington family of Aaron Spelling’s iconic soap Dynasty. She was immortalized in a portrait painted in 1985 by Andy Warhol with her then-still-young son Nick.
Nick was found dead of an overdose in his Manhattan apartment in 2017.
Sources say Patti has been suffering from dark days “as before” since her death. Another source says she’s starting to return to her former self after dealing with many losses over the past few years.
Her father, Marvin, famously owned 20th Century Fox, the Aspen Ski Company and the Beverly Hills Hotel. Patti once sued her brother, mother, and family advisers, alleging that she famously helped her father loot her trust fund. She allegedly settled the dispute in 2008 and stayed estranged from her family until her Nick died.
Peers described Laine as “a sweet lady with a heart of gold”. Even though her family amassed enormous wealth, she was very modest.
