A celebratory pre-wedding getaway turned into an unimaginable tragedy after 26-year-old Makenzi Kern, a close friend of Jade Jones, the fiancée of NBA star and Indiana Pacers point guard Tyrese Haliburton, died suddenly during a bachelorette trip to St. Barthelemy.
The tragedy occurred on 8 June, just two days after Kern celebrated her 26th birthday and as the group prepared to return to the United States. What was meant to be a joyful celebration ahead of Jones' wedding instead ended in heartbreak, leaving family, friends, and loved ones mourning the sudden loss.
