The Humboldt Broncos’ athletic therapist has succumbed to injuries sustained in Friday’s tragic bus crash, bringing the death toll to 16.

Dayna Brons passed away peacefully this afternoon in hospital, according to a statement from the Saskatchewan Health Authority sent on behalf of Brons’ family. Family members thanked the first responders, emergency staff, and those who cared for Brons over the past few days. The family also expressed their thanks to everyone across Saskatchewan and Canada for their prayers and support.

“She was surrounded by those she loved and those who loved her,” family members said in their statement. “Dayna will be forever remembered for her joyful smile, and her passion and love of sport.”

The family asked for privacy as they grieve, and specifically requested privacy on social media as well.
