AceShowbiz - Mamie Laverock, a 19-year-old actress known for her recurring role as Rosaleen Sullivan on Hallmark's "When Calls the Heart," has been placed on life support following a catastrophic fall. Her tumble from a five-story balcony walkway comes amid ongoing treatment for a prior medical emergency.
On May 11, Laverock was rushed to a Winnipeg hospital by her mother, Nicole Compton, due to an undisclosed medical emergency. Nicole's timely intervention is credited with saving her daughter's life. After initial intensive treatment, Laverock was transferred to a Vancouver hospital.
Tragically, on May 26, Laverock, who was supposed to be in a secure unit, fell from a balcony walkway within the Vancouver hospital. "She sustained life-threatening injuries, has undergone multiple extensive surgeries, and is currently on life support," her parents, Rob and Nicole Compton, shared in a GoFundMe update. "We are all devastated, in shock, at this intensely difficult time," they added.
The GoFundMe campaign launched by her family has garnered significant support, raising over $15,560 out of a $25,000 goal to assist in Laverock's extensive recovery process. The heart-wrenching incident has drawn sympathy and calls to action from Laverock's co-stars and the Hallmark community.
Erin Krakow, a fellow actor on "When Calls the Heart," posted on her Instagram, urging fans to donate to the GoFundMe page. "I just donated. If you have the means to do so, I hope you will too," she wrote.
Johannah Newmarch, who plays her on-screen mother Molly Sullivan, also rallied support via X (formerly Twitter). "I love this family, my heart is broken. A devastating time for all who care for Mamie," noted Newmarch.
In a statement to the public, Hallmark Media expressed deep sorrow, saying, "We are deeply saddened to hear the news about Mamie. As a beloved member of our When Calls the Heart community, we wish her and her family peace, comfort, and many prayers during this difficult time."
Aside from her hallmark role, Mamie Laverock has made appearances in various TV productions, including "This Means War," Netflix's "A Series of Unfortunate Events," and the Lifetime movie "Spotlight on Christmas."
Fans and well-wishers are encouraged to continue supporting Laverock and her family through this unimaginably tough period, emphasizing the communal bond that ties the entertainment industry together in times of hardship.
