Nurse, 37, dies after being found with 'unexplained' injuries outside home
A Gold Coast nurse has died after she was found with critical head injuries outside her home.
Lisa Davey, 37, was found unconscious by a neighbour outside her Arundel home about 6.45pm on Thursday.
She was rushed to Gold Coast University Hospital where she was admitted to the intensive care unit where she was employed.
Ms Davey had been under the care of “shocked and saddened” colleagues at the hospital.
A Gold Coast Health spokesperson said in a statement earlier on Saturday it was “obviously a very difficult time for staff”.
The spokesperson said they would do “everything possible” to support staff members.
Police are investigating how the woman sustained the injuries that led to her death, which they described as “unexplained”.
“Medical advice at this point would suggest that it’s consistent with blunt force trauma. It’s the sort of injury you’d get in a traffic accident, that’s how significant it is,” Detective Inspector Brendan Smith had previously said.
Ms Davey had no visible injuries, while one neighbour said he did not “hear or see anything”.
Investigators are appealing to the public for information, including anyone who may have seen anything suspicious or anyone “out of place” in the local area.
Detectives are also asking for dashcam vision taken in Callistemon Court and a nearby section of Olsen Road from Thursday evening.
