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 page organized by her family.
After spending two weeks in “intensive treatment” in the hospital due to a “medical emergency,” Laverock “was escorted out of a secure unit of the hospital and taken up to a balcony walkway from which she fell five stories,” per the fundraiser page, which was set up by her parents, Rob and Nicole Compton.
“She sustained life threatening injuries, has undergone multiple extensive surgeries and is currently on life support,” Laverock’s parents wrote. “We are all devastated, in shock, at this intensely difficult time.”
According to the GoFundMe campaign, Laverock’s mother traveled to Winnipeg, Canada, on May 11 to help Laverock with a “medical emergency.” “Nicole was able to get there in time to save her life,” the description reads. Laverock was then transferred to a hospital in Vancouver. At the time, her parents wrote that “her recovery is unclear” but “she is alive and is showing signs of improvement.”
Laverock fell off of a balcony on May 26, more than two weeks after her initial hospitalization. The details of Laverock’s medical emergency are unclear.
As of this publication, the fundraiser has collected more than $14,500 to aid in Laverock’s recovery.
Laverock’s “When Calls the Heart” co-stars have shown support for the young actor on social media. Erin Krakow boosted the GoFundMe page on her Instagram, writing, “I just donated. If you have the means to do so, I hope you will too.” Johannah Newmarch also shared the link on X, writing, “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.” Loretta Walsh similarly promoted the fundraiser, writing, “Please donate and share if you can. Mamie and her family need our support. Link in bio. Thank you.”
Variety has reached out to the Hallmark Channel for comment.
Laverock appeared in nine episodes of “When the Heart Calls” from 2014 to 2023, including the premiere episode. Her other credits include “This Means War,” “A Series of Unfortunate Events” and “The Hollow Child.”
