She's not out of the woods by a long way, but I do genuinely wish her all the best. She has sadly died. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Joey Russ 7,228 Posted March 11, 2017 Is it rude to hope that someone has died so they're out of their misery, cause that's how I feel about Magill right now. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sean 6,327 Posted March 11, 2017 According to multiple posts on Lisa Magill`s terminally fabulous page she has died in the last few hours.Official word from the family about 12 hours ago was that she had been sedated to the point of being comatose and out of pain so seems likely she has now died.

RadGuy 1,614 Posted March 11, 2017 From her mom's FB page: "Tonight at 11.50 our gorgeous girl was wrapped in the wings of an angel and joined her friends and family in heaven. Lisas passing was so peaceful, slipping away in her sleep without pain nor fear. Our hearts are shatter into a thousand pieces, Lisa was the most generous soul to walk this earth, she would do anything to make us happy. We were so blessed to have her in our lives. We won't be posting on the Terminally Fabulous page until tomorrow as we just need time to get our heads around this. Thank you so much for all your love and support at this tragic time. We are eternally grateful x" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
