Last Friday, a Washington mother of four died after falling and hitting her skull while running on a treadmill at a LA Fitness in Washington state.
Delrie Rosario, 36, was working out with her sister at the club in Kent when the tragedy occurred, according to KIRO 7.
Marissa Woods told a local television station that she and her sister used treadmills almost every day at the gym and that Rosario’s death was a “bizarre accident.”
“She tried to slow the machine down. I thought maybe she just missed a step,” Woods said. “She just collapsed, [and] hit her head on the machine.”
Rosario was knocked unconscious and Woods began frantically screaming for help and asking if anyone knew CPR.
Other gymgoers jumped to aid, and Rosario was taken to a nearby hospital, but she couldn’t be saved.
Her heart, lungs, kidneys and liver were donated to patients in need, according to a GoFundMe campaign created for her children.
“Five people, literally like right now! She’s saving lives. How big can your heart be to still be saving lives?” Woods said. “Just think, somebody’s walking around…with her big heart. They don’t even know what heart they’re about to get.”
