An 18-year-old woman died last week during a weight cut ahead of a planned Muay Thai bout.
Jessica Lindsay, a native of Perth, Australia, went for a run Nov. 10 to cut the last few pounds needed to make the 141-pound limit of her amateur bout, which was scheduled to take place Nov. 11 in Perth. She collapsed and was rushed to a local hospital, but passed away four days later. A GoFundMe page created by a personal friend of Lindsay’s family to cover funeral costs detailed the news.
Lindsay was severely dehydrated when she collapsed, per the page.
