It all happened while they were spending time together on the terrace of the Driftwood Grill restaurant. According to authorities, a sudden gust of air lifted the umbrella, and the object struck Dana brutally in the head and neck. Emergency crews arrived minutes later, but they were no longer able to revive her.
