On December 25, 2011, while traveling in a limo, President Asher and Margaret were involved in a car accident. Though Asher attempted to save her, he was pulled from the car by Secret Service agent Mike Banning. The car then plummeted to the frozen river below, killing her on impact, leaving everyone horrified at the loss.

Legacy[]

Margaret's death left a scar on the Asher family. Connor tried to avoid going to Camp David because it left behind the tragic memory of his mother. Benjamin, despite his persistence to move on and continue his presidency, was still scarred by Margaret's death.

Her death also impacted Mike's career in the Secret Service. Mike was removed from the Presidential Detail because he reminded Benjamin of the night that Margaret died. As a result, Mike blamed himself and was haunted by his failure to save Margaret for eighteen months. However, her death was a redeeming moment for Mike's career when the White House was besieged on July 5, 2013. Having saved President Asher and America from Kang Yeonsak due to his perseverance to make up for Margaret's death, Mike was reinstated into the Presidential Detail.

Behind the Scenes[]

Margaret Asher was portrayed by Ashley Judd in Olympus Has Fallen.
