Has any secretary of state become president due to the loss of both the president and vice president?
No. It is quite unlikely that this would ever happen. When the Vice President becomes President, a new Vice President is selected and becomes next in line. Only if the new President were to die before a new Vice President was selected would the Speaker of the House become President. Then a new Vice President and a new Speaker would be selected and they would both be ahead of the President Pro Tempore in the order of ascendence. The Secretary of State would become President only if the President, Vice President, Speaker, and President Pro Tempore all died at essentially the same time.

The order of presidential succession goes: President VP Speaker of the House President Pro-tempore of the Senate Cabinet (by order of when the positions were established)
