"Lamento mucho lo sucedido."

Why is the past participle "sucedido" used in the phrase "Hola bebé, lamento mucho lo sucedido."?
Is it correct?
I'm having difficulty matching it to a rule for participle usage.
Thank You!

Yes, it is correct and "lo sucedido" means "what happened".
The "lo + participle" structure functions as a noun.
It is the same structure that you would see with other past participles. For example: "lo escrito" - what is written..."lo pedido" - what is asked for..."Lo deseado" - what is wanted.
I hope this has helped.
