Home and Away actress Jessica Falkholt dies

Home and Away actress Jessica Falkholt has died from injuries she suffered in a car crash three weeks ago, BBC News reports, citing a source from an Australian hospital.

The accident in New South Wales on 26 December had already killed her parents, sister and the other driver.

The actress, 29, played Hope Morrison in the soap.

Her life support was switched off last week and she died on Wednesday morning local time, said St George Hospital in Sydney.

"The family has asked for privacy during this very difficult time," it said in a statement.

Jessica's parents Lars, 69, and Vivian, 60, were killed instantly in the crash and her sister Annabelle, 21, died in hospital three days later.

Australian police are still investigating the crash, which also killed 50-year-old Craig Whitall, who was driving the other car.
