‘When Calls The Heart’s Mamie Laverock In Critical Condition After Suffering “Life-Threatening Injuries” In Balcony Fall

When Calls The Heart star Mamie Laverock is fighting for her life after she fell five stories from a balcony on Sunday (May 26).

The 19-year-old actress was initially transported to a Winnipeg hospital due to an undisclosed “medical emergency” on Saturday, May 11, according to a GoFundMe page set up by her parents Rob Compton and Nicole Compton. The pair wrote that she had since been transferred to a hospital in Vancouver — and while her recovery was “unclear” at the time, they said she was “showing signs of improvement.”

However, in a new update on the fundraiser, they claimed Laverock was “escorted out of a secure unit of the hospital and taken up to a balcony walkway from which she fell five stories.”

The family continued, “She sustained life-threatening injuries, has undergone multiple extensive surgeries, and is currently on life support. We are all devastated, in shock, at this intensely difficult time.”

Laverock’s When Calls the Heart co-star Erin Krakow has since urged her followers to donate to the GoFundMe, writing on Instagram, “I just donated. If you have the means to do so, I hope you will too.”

Johannah Newmarch, who plays Laverock’s mother on the Hallmark show, added, “I love this family, my heart is broken. A devastating time for all who care for Mamie. Please help if you can. They need all the support they can get to make it through this.”

Over the last 10 years, Laverock has starred as nursing student Rosaleen Sullivan in a number of episodes of When Calls the Heart. She ultimately won a Young Artists Award for best performance in a TV series in 2015.

Laverock has also appeared in The Killing Game with Laura Prepon and Naomi Judd as well as This Means War with Reese Witherspoon, Chris Pine and Tom Hardy.
