Freestyle skiing champion Sarah Burke died on Thursday after having been in a medically-induced coma for a week because of an accident at practice that left her with a brain injury.

The 29-year-old Olympic hopeful ruptured a vertebral artery after a nasty fall on January 10 in Park City, Utah, that led to severe bleeding, at which time she stopped breathing and paramedics could find no pulse.

Sarah passed away at 9:22 a.m. surrounded by her family at the University of Utah hospital and in a released statement they said her organs will be donated "to save the lives of others."
