At the time, she was transferred to a hospital in Vancouver, per the parents, where she was expected to stay “upwards of a month or more.” They also stated that “her recovery is unclear at this time but she is alive and is showing signs of improvement.”
This was all before the fall, which came to the GoFundMe page in the form of an update. The parents wrote that after two weeks of “extensive treatment,” 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.”
As a result of the fall, the family reports that Laverock endured “life-threatening injuries” and has already “undergone multiple extensive surgeries.” She remains on life support, according to the fundraiser.
Laverock has been a part of the Hallmark family for ten years now, having first portrayed Rosaleen Sullivan in the first two seasons of the show. She returned for Season 10 in 2023, with her character now a nursing student.
Hallmark Media said in a statement received by People, “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
