"When Calls the Heart" star Mamie Laverock is in critical care after the actress suffered a serious fall.
Laverock, best known for her role as Rosaleen Sullivan on the Hallmark Channel romantic drama, has reportedly been placed on life support after sustaining severe injuries in a fall Sunday, according to a GoFundMe page set up for the actress.
Laverock "was escorted out of a secure unit of the hospital and taken up to a balcony walkway from which she fell five stories," GoFundMe organizers Rob and Nicole Compton wrote. "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."
The actress had been in "intensive treatment for the past two weeks" following a May 11 hospitalization in Winnipeg, Canada, for an undisclosed "medical emergency," per Laverock's GoFundMe. She was subsequently transferred to a hospital in Vancouver.
