The Incident
On December 17, little Ivy Bella Roze was playing in her family’s backyard when she managed to squeeze through a gap in her neighbor’s fence and found herself in the adjacent pool. Tragically, she was discovered unresponsive in the water.
Ivy was rushed to Royal Children’s Hospital in Melbourne, but her injuries were too severe. After fighting for her life for eleven days, the little girl succumbed to her injuries, leaving behind grieving family members, including her mother, brother, and two sisters.
A Family’s Unbearable Loss

Ivy’s aunt, Brittany Beech, started a GoFundMe campaign to help with funeral expenses, raising AUD 8873 (NOK 62,424) so far. In an emotional statement, Brittany described her niece as a ‘beautiful superhero’.
Remembering Ivy
The family bidding farewell to their ‘little superhero’ is heartbreaking. In their final message to Ivy, they shared:
"Ivy, our tiny superhero, you will be forever missed, forever loved, and forever in our hearts. Until we meet again, little one, dance in the sky with the stars, knowing you are deeply, deeply loved."
