Lisa Curry’s daughter Jaimi dies age 33

Former Olympic swimmer Lisa Curry has been hospitalised.

The 59-year-old revealed she was admitted to hospital five days ago with “chest pain” 10 months after the tragic death of her beloved daughter Jaimi Kenny.

“I’m in hospital. It’s day 5 after coming in with chest pain, a wide squeezing band around my chest and back. All my tests are good. Everyone is stumped,” Curry wrote on Instagram on Wednesday morning.

“But you can’t test for heartache.”

Curry, who underwent heart surgery due to an irregular heartbeat more than a decade ago, said she’s heartbroken as she continues to grieve the loss of her daughter and urged people to be kind.

“For every beautiful photo of our girl, there are 10 sad ones,” she wrote alongside a photo of Jaimi.

“As I lie here thinking about our Jaimi, I wanted to show you how much she hurt too. Broken hearted by things that people said to her and did to her.

“Words and actions hurt people so deep that they store that trauma for such a long time. Some people can get through it.. some live with it, some just can’t.”

Jaimi tragically passed away at age 33 in September after losing her battle with a long-term illness.

She was the oldest daughter of Curry and her ex-husband, Grant Kenny, who also share two other children together - a daughter Morgan and son Jett.

Jaimi was laid to rest in a private sunset funeral in September.
