The family of an Australian nurse who was one of the seven people killed in the London Bridge extremist attacks said Tuesday that she died while trying to assist other victims of the van and knife rampage.
London's Metropolitan Police issued a statement from the family of 28-year-old Kirsty Boden praising her compassion and natural instinct to help. "As she ran towards danger, in an effort to help people on the bridge, Kirsty sadly lost her life," read the statement, which went on to say that Boden's actions "demonstrate how selfless, caring and heroic she was, not only on that night, but throughout all of her life."
Police have not elaborated on how Boden died. Australian media reported that she was from Loxton in southern Australia.
