At 26, she collapses in front of her parents in the middle of a card game

A family evening that turns into a nightmare. This Sunday, May 21, a 26-year-old Australian girl died suddenly while playing cards with her family. Originally from Brisbane, Dani Duchatel was convalescing with her parents following a broken leg for which she had been operated on. “Because of the operation, a blood clot formed and traveled into his lung, which caused a pulmonary embolism”, said Chantelle Lay, a close friend of the young woman. According to the British tabloid The Sun, Dani’s mother tried to save her daughter by practicing cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Unfortunately, his attempt was unsuccessful.

According to Chantelle Lay, Dani was a young woman”calm but lively“, a “sweet soul“. “Animal Lover”, she had just adopted a kitten that she “loved above all“. “She was the kind of person who would do anything to help others. She was very loving and always encouraged others.”

“Fly high, my darling”

On social networks, many tributes were paid to the young woman, who had just bought a house in Albion, a suburb of Brisbane. “Of all the blessings this world has given me, the greatest was to have the honor of being your aunt, wrote Sharon Glover, whose niece Dani was. I can wipe the tears from my face but the pain in my heart will last forever. Fly high, darling. I like you.” “I spent with you some of the happiest times of my life, said Janis Michel, a friend of the young woman, on Instagram. From the days of falling asleep on the couch watching Friends to those of chasing frogs in the rain. I cherish all those moments and will remember them throughout my life.“

A Go Fund Me page was recently opened to finance the funeral of the young woman. Nearly 18,000 dollars (about 11,000 euros) have already been raised.
