Canadian Actor Mamie Laverock, 19, On Life-Support After 5-Storey Fall From Hospital Balcony

Mamie Laverock, a 19-year-old actor known for her role as Rosaleen Sullivan across several episodes of the Hallmark Channel series 'When Calls the Heart', is on life support after falling five stories from a balcony walkway. According to a GoFundMe campaign created by her family, on May 11, the 19-year-old was transported by her mother Nicole Compton to a hospital in Canada due to a "medical emergency". But she was later transferred to another hospital, where she would stay "upwards of a month or more". "Her recovery is unclear at this time but she is alive and is showing signs of improvement," the GoFundMe page read. 

Now, in an update, Ms Laverock's family revealed that their daughter "was escorted out of a secure unit of the hospital and taken up to a balcony walkway from which she fell five stories". "She sustained life-threatening injuries, has undergone multiple extensive surgeries, and is currently on life support," the page read. "We are all devastated, in shock, at this intensely difficult time," the family wrote. 

Following the tragedy, Ms Laverock's 'When Calls the Heart' co-star Erin Krakow posted a call to action on her Instagram, urging followers to donate to the family's fund. " I just donated. If you have the means to do so, I hope you will too. Link in bio," Ms Krakow wrote, per People. 

Johannah Newmarch, who plays Laverock's on-screen mother, Molly Sullivan, also shared her support in a post on X (formerly Twitter). "I love this family, my heart is broken. A devastating time for all who care for Mamie. Please help if you can," Ms Newmarch wrote. "They need all the support they can get to make it through this," she added.
