The alleged death of Dannii Erskine, an Australian reality star from "Bride and Prejudice," has come under scrutiny as reports suggest she may still be alive. According to 7News Australia, there were no fatal traffic accidents around the time of her supposed crash, and no records of her death exist.
Last week, an individual claiming to be Erskine's sister, Dee, emailed "So Dramatic" and stated that the reality star had suffered severe head injuries in a car accident in North Melbourne on April 28. According to the email, Erskine was taken to the Royal Melbourne Hospital, where she passed away on April 29 at 12:01 a.m.
A tribute to Erskine was posted on her Instagram account on April 29, with a caption describing her death as the result of an "awful accident." However, both the post and her social media account have since been deleted.

An anonymous source told 7News that Erskine, who appeared in the "forbidden wedding" series in 2019 and was once engaged to Denton Ansley, is still alive. While International Business Times could not independently verify this information, the Coroner's Court of Victoria confirmed to 7News that it had no record of Erskine's death.
Victoria Police also told the outlet that they had no records of any fatal or life-threatening collisions in North Melbourne within the past month. Additionally, the Transport Accident Commission for Victoria had no data on a fatality on April 29, as reported by So Dramatic.
On Monday's episode of the "So Dramatic" podcast, Ansley, Erskine's ex-fiancé, revealed that friends had received a message about a funeral service scheduled for May 16 in Mornington Peninsula. However, upon contacting the funeral company, they discovered no funeral was scheduled under Erskine's name.
Interestingly, Ansley disclosed that he had received reports of Erskine's death two years ago, but she later claimed her account had been hacked. Ansley expressed doubt about the current situation, stating that "quite a few things just don't add up."
Multiple unnamed sources also told So Dramatic that Erskine is alive, with one person stating, "She's obviously not very well mentally, but she's alive." The same person claimed that Erskine is an inpatient at a hospital with a broken ankle and that her social media account had been hacked.
Erskine's social media account has been reactivated, with posts about her alleged death removed. The memorial picture remains as the account's profile image. No official statement from Erskine's family or representative has been released to address the questions surrounding her purported death.
