"She's alive!": Claims over TV star's death thrown into question
In a new turn of events, Bride and Prejudice Australian actress Dannii Erskine, who was reported dead, may still be alive.
A person claiming to be Erskine’s sister Dee announced her death following a tragic car crash in North Melbourne that was reported to have occurred on April 28.
Erskine was allegedly T-boned by another driver on her way home from a shopping trip.
Speaking to the So Dramatic podcast, Dee revealed at the time that Dannii’s skull had been crushed upon impact with her vehicle airbag, ultimately resulting in her death.
However, recent claims suggest the star could still be alive, and a statement by Victoria Police raises further questions about the alleged car accident.
An anonymous source told 7NEWS.com.au that Dannii is still alive.
Victoria Police said they could not comment on individuals due to privacy laws, but confirmed there were no fatal or life-threatening collisions recorded in the North Melbourne area within the past month.
In addition to the bombshell twist, the Coroner’s Court of Victoria revealed they had no record of Dannii Erskine’s death.
Dannii’s ex-partner Denton Ansley appeared in an interview with So Dramatic and recalled a similar incident from 2022, where people received a mass message from Erskine’s account claiming she had passed away.
However, she later revealed her account was hacked and that she was alive.
Ansley also alleged that friends had received a message with details of a funeral service to be held on May 16 in the Mornington Peninsula, VIC.
They contacted the funeral company and were told there was no funeral scheduled for that date under Dannii’s name.
Erskine’s Instagram, which was taken down shortly after her alleged death, has since been reactivated.
All posts related to her death have been removed, however, the “rest in peace” memorial piece remains as the account’s profile picture.
Dannii participated in Seven’s Bride and Prejudice in 2019 with her then-finance, Denton.
