The Christie’s Cabaret dancer who fell from a balcony while giving a lap dance has died.

22-year-old Lauren Block of Richmond Heights was critically injured January 2 after falling 15 feet and landing on her head inside the cabaret. She never regained consciousness.

Her family says they are donating her organs so that others may live because of her.  They also released the following statement:

“We would like to thank the community for their outpouring of support and prayers for Lauren.  She has passed away but is an organ donor, and we hope this will enable her to save many lives and live on through others.  We would like to express our gratitude to the staff at MetroHealth. They worked tirelessly to do all they could to save her life.  We ask that the media respect our privacy during this difficult time.  We know that she’s in God’s hands.”
