Summary
- A Georgia woman suffered a fatal head injury while zip-lining.
- She experienced seizures and died en route to the hospital.
- Her family is fundraising to bring her body home.
Tamirah Dix, a 40-year-old resident of Marietta, Georgia, died following a zip-lining accident in Puerto Rico. The incident occurred on a Saturday, where Dix reportedly struck her head during the activity. Although she appeared unharmed immediately afterward and continued with her planned vacation activities for the day, she experienced seizures after going to sleep that night.
Tragically, Dix passed away while being transported to the hospital. Her family has described the event as a "freak accident" and are deeply mourning her sudden loss. Dix was known for her adventurous spirit and caring nature, particularly towards her nieces and nephews.
To help manage the overwhelming costs associated with her passing, Dix's family has established a GoFundMe campaign. The fundraiser aims to secure funds for transporting her body back to Georgia and to cover funeral arrangements. As of Thursday morning, the campaign had garnered over $6,400 in donations, reflecting community support during this devastating time.
