No more information was released about her death, but according to Nine News, the family received a confusing text from her phone earlier that day, picturing a car crash.

“Her husband was saying they were both fine but he wouldn’t let us speak to my sister and we knew something was up and kept on trying to call,” her sister Alison Gibson said.

“We didn’t believe him and came here but we couldn’t get in the front door because it was deadbolted.

“Gerard jumped on the roof and got inside and found her.”
