Loved ones are mourning a young woman who had dreams of travelling the world after she suddenly died while playing cards with her parents at a family dinner.
Daniella Jade Duchatel, 26, went into cardiac arrest while having dinner and playing a card game at her parent's Moreton Bay home on Sunday night.
Her frantic mother, Kay attempted to give her daughter CPR after she collapsed, but was sadly unable to revive the young government worker.
The 26-year-old's shock death came just one month after she broke her leg and some ligaments after injuring herself while walking home with friends.

She had a plate inserted into her leg during emergency surgery and had been recovering at her parent's house when she entered cardiac arrest.
Doctors have theorised that after the surgery a blood clot formed and travelled up to the 26-year-old's lung and caused a pulmonary embolism.
The family are awaiting the results of an autopsy to confirm.
Mrs Duchatel announced her daughter's tragic passing on Facebook on Tuesday.
