The woman who died after being struck by lightning on Queensland’s Sunshine Coast has been identified as 21-year-old Finley Bone.
Paramedics were called to the Cooroy Sporting Complex yesterday where Bone was treated in a life-threatening condition and transported to Nambour Hospital with critical care paramedics on board.
She died a short time later.
Bone’s mother, Donna, said her daughter, a keen football player, “her her life taken away in a minute”.
“No one can believe this happened. Our heartfelt thanks to emergency teams who responded in minutes and the ED at Nambour Hospital. They gave us next level care.
“We are a close-knit family and today we are spending time with Fin’s older brothers and sisters, nephews, aunties and uncles.”
Bone was a member of the Noosa Lions FQPL3 women’s team and also coached the under-12 and under-13 girls teams.
The club said they were devastated by the tragedy.
