Daughter's heartbreaking tribute to former Newcastle medic who died after being struck by lightning

A former Newcastle General Hospital physio died after being struck by lightning on holiday, an inquest has found.

Daniella DiMambro, 48, was in Croatia with her daughter Emily DiMambro-Mosscrop, 18, and son, 15, when tragedy struck in August this year. She died weeks later, never having recovered from the heart attack she suffered, NottinghamLive reports.

Now, following an inquest, daughter Emily has told of the awful moment her mum was struck by lightning as they sheltered under a tree after a storm broke at the end of an "amazing" holiday. In an emotional tribute to her mum, a popular physio and pilates instructor, Emily recalled the life-changing day when the freak accident occurred.
