Alexandra Paul killed in a car accident

[Flying Feijoa]

"And tell me where
Where is it written what it is I'm meant to be
That I can't dare to have the chance to
Pick the fruit of every tree
Or have my share of every sweet imagined possibility
Just tell me where, where is it written, tell me where"

Lyrics taking on a different, more heartbreaking meaning now. Gone too soon

CTV News is reporting that retired Canadian ice dancer Alexandra Paul, has been tragically killed in a car accident.

Her baby son was in the car with her, and has been treated in hospital for "non-life-threatening injuries".

Such devastating news. My condolences to her husband and family, as well as all in the skating community who knew her.

I just heard this sad news. Hard to believe. I remember watching this beautiful ice dance team. My condolences to her husband and family.

That's truly horrible. I missed them when they retired and was so happy for them when they got married. Sincere condolences to Mitch and Charlie and all their family and friends.

Holy *Word I can't say here.....* I'm having a hard time processing this.

To h with that truck driver. How can you be so careless? Shame on you.

I didn't realize until now that Mitch Islam is the son of Debbie Albright, someone I met casually a few times back when she was competing herself. Having been known for her artistry, she must have been so pleased to acquire another beautiful skater as a daughter-in-law.

Such heart wrenching news
An elegant skater
Taken too soon

Horrible news. They were such a beautiful couple. Rest in peace. Condolences to Mitch and family.

I am both sad and sorry for the loss of Alexandra who was not only a great skater - She and Mitch won Junior worlds in 2010 I believe but she was more than skating. She did well in school and became a lawyer and mother and wonderful wife. She was beautiful on the outside and inside. I am shocked. So young and her legal career and motherhood was just starting. I see the skating communtiy has been very supportive as the should be of the GO FUND ME CAMPAIGN to help Mitch and Charlie. WE never like to think about money but that is something you have to think of. I am not sure what Mitch does but Alexandra by career would have had a very significant impact on their livelihood. I hope somethign can be done to keep Alex alive in Mitch and Charlie's lives.

 

[NanaPat]

I am not sure what Mitch does

He coaches at the Mariposa School of Skating in Barrie.

 

[ladyjane]

My sincere condolences to Alexandra's husband and family. How terribly sad.
