‘When Calls the Heart’ star Mamie Laverock, 19, on life support after five-story balcony fall
nypost.comGoFundMe campaign helmed by her family, after spending two weeks in “intensive treatment” in the hospital due to an unspecified medical emergency earlier in May, Laverock “was escorted out of a secure unit of the hospital and taken up to a balcony walkway from which she fell five stories,” per the fundraiser page.The campaign was set up by her parents, Rob and Nicole Compton.“She sustained life threatening injuries, has undergone multiple extensive surgeries and is currently on life support,” Laverock’s parents wrote. “We are all devastated, in shock, at this intensely difficult time.”The campaign explains that on May 11, the “When Calls the Heart” actress was transported by her mother to a Winnipeg hospital.
It did not specify why, aside from writing that she had a “medical emergency.” She was then transferred to a Vancouver hospital, where she would stay “upwards of a month or more.” Her parents continued to update that her recovery was “unclear,” but her condition at the time was, “alive and is showing signs of improvement.”However, on Tuesday, her GoFundMe campaign — which raised over 15,000 CAD to date — had a further update.
Her parents shared that on May 26, Laverock “was escorted out of a secure unit of the hospital and taken up to a balcony walkway from which she fell five stories,” leaving her in critical condition.
Before “When Calls the Heart,” Laverock made her debut in the 2012 rom-com “This Means War” starring Reese Witherspoon, Tom Hardy and Chris Pine.
