The death toll from last month’s terrorist attack in London is now at five, after the woman who fell into the Thames River during the attack was taken off life support on Thursday.
On March 22, Khalid Masood used a vehicle to plow through a crowd of pedestrians on Westminster Bridge before stabbing a police officer to death. The terrorist was subsequently shot to death at the scene.
Andreea Cristea, 31, an architect from Romania, fell off the the bridge during the attack.
After being pulled from the river, Cristea was diagnosed with a blood clot on the brain. She remained hospitalized and on life support for more than two weeks. Her fatal fall was captured on video at the scene, but it remains unclear if she was pushed off the bridge by the vehicle or if she jumped deliberately to attempt to get away.
“After fighting for her life for over two weeks, our beloved and irreplaceable Andreea – wonderful daughter, sister, partner, dedicated friend and the most unique and life loving person you can imagine – was cruelly and brutally ripped away from our lives in the most heartless and spiritless way,” a statement from Cristea’s family said. “She will always be remembered as our shining ray of light that will forever keep on shining in our hearts.”
