Teen Actress Falls Off 5-Story Hospital Balcony While Already Admitted For Another 'Medical Emergency'
Mamie Laverock, the teen actress from the Hallmark series "When Calls the Heart," is currently on life support after a series of unfortunate medical incidents.
On May 11, the 19-year-old star was brought to a hospital in Winnipeg, Canada, after suffering a medical emergency.
According to a GoFundMe page created by her family, Laverock's mother, Nicole, came to her aid just in time "to save her life." No further information was revealed about the incident.
Laverock was later moved to a hospital in Vancouver. She was also showing signs of improvement at the time, the post revealed.
However, on May 26, the actress, who has spent weeks in intensive care, was reportedly "escorted out" of a secure unit of the hospital and up the fifth-floor balcony where she fell five stories down.
"We are deeply saddened to report that on May 26th, Mamie, who has been in intensive treatment for the past two weeks, was escorted out of a secure unit of the hospital and taken up to a balcony walkway from which she fell five stories," wrote an update on the GoFundMe page.
The identity of the person who escorted her was not revealed.
Laverock reportedly sustained life-threatening injuries and has undergone multiple surgeries. She is currently on life support.
Laverock stars as Rosaleen on "When Calls the Heart" -- a student whose father was killed in a mining incident. She appeared in nine episodes of the series, her IMDb page showed.
Her co-stars have also taken to social media to show support for Laverock and her family, while asking fans to donate to her GoFundMe page. The fundraiser is hoping to raise C$25,000 which it already surpassed.
Actress Erin Krakow shared a post on Instagram, calling on her followers to donate to the fund.
"I just donated. If you have the means to do so, I hope you will too. Link in bio," she wrote.
Johanna Newmarch, who plays Laverock's mom in the series, also tweeted support for the teen's family.
"I love this family, my heart is broken. A devastating time for all who care for Mamie. Please help if you can. They need all the support they can get to make it through this," she posted.
Laverock made her film debut in "This Means War," the 2012 movie starring Reese Witherspoon, Tom Hardy and Chris Pine. She also appeared in the Netflix series "A Series of Unfortunate Events."
