Tragic: Woman dies within hours of celebrating her 20th birthday following ‘bad headache’




Gabby Marsh was celebrating her 20th birthday on March 6th with friends in her hometown of Auckland, New Zealand when she complained of a bad headache and was rushed to hospital.

She was unconscious and on life support having suffered a catastrophic brain hemorrhage, literally hours after her party.

Tragically, her family were told she was unlikely to survive and they made a decision to switch off machine.

Gabby’s mother told of how her daughter went on to save six lives by donating many of her organs.

A Gabby Marsh Scholarship fund has since been setup in her memory and already some €20,000 has been raised.
