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.

If there is no House Speaker at that time, or if the House Speaker is unable, unwilling or not qualified to be President, the President Pro Tempore of the U. S. Senate, who is by tradition the most senior member of the majority party of the Senate, becomes President. If there is no Senate President Pro Tem at that time, or if he/she is unable, unwilling or not qualified to be President, the U. S. Secretary of State becomes President. If there is no Secretary of State at that time, or if he/she is unable, unwilling or not qualified to be President, the U. S. Treasury Secretary becomes President (if qualified, willing and able). Whoever becomes President appoints a Vice President after taking office. That person takes office after both houses of Congress approve the appointment.
