The questionable 'death' of Dannii Erskine, a much-loved character who appeared on Channel 7's Bride and Prejudice in 2019 with her then-fiancé, Denton Ansley, has raised a few eyebrows after some reports emerged about inaccuracies surrounding her supposed fatal crash.

What had previously played out as a heart-wrenching tragedy unravelled into a tangled web of doubt and confusion when funeral arrangements appeared to be made by Erskine's family. However, when contacted for comment, the funeral home mentioned in messages denied any knowledge of the funeral. Victoria police also confirmed that there were no fatal traffic accidents in the area around that time.

The dramatic news of Erskine's 'death' first broke on social media when her sister Dee revealed on the So Dramatic podcast, hosted by entertainment journalist Megan Pustetto, that her car had been T-boned on her way home from the shops in North Melbourne. The terrible accident was said to have caused severe head injuries, leading to Erskine's untimely passing at merely 28 years old.

In response, friends and family paid heartfelt tributes to Dannii Erskine, with many leaving tear-jerking comments and messages on her Instagram page. However, this tragic tale took an astonishing turn when an anonymous source told Channel 7 that Ms. Erskine was supposedly alive and well.



Ms. Pustetto revealed on her podcast that several listeners who were acquainted with Erskine had contacted her, sharing puzzling messages they had received from the funeral home about the alleged ceremony. Upon further inquiry, the funeral home denied there were any funerals scheduled under that name or on that specific date.

Shortly afterward, the Victoria Coroner's Court confirmed that they had no records of any death under the name of Dannii Erskine. Furthermore, her social media accounts sprang to life and became active once again, erasing any posts previously linked to her 'death'. However, her online profiles continue to show 'rest in peace' as her profile picture.

Mental Health Issues and Social Media​

The case of Dannii Erskine has left many people wondering about the truth behind her story. Theories range from a planned hoax to a potential cover-up, and an anonymous source claimed that Erskine's social media was hacked, leading to the entire charade. However, this incident has shed light on the dangers of social media when it comes to mental health issues. It's been suggested that Erskine may have been struggling with mental health problems before her reported death. Social media often serves as a way for people to express their distress and seek help, emphasising the importance of taking online messages of distress seriously.



The ease with which false information can be disseminated on social media platforms like Instagram and Twitter raises questions about how misinformation is spread. It's crucial to remain vigilant and ensure that accuracy and truth are not drowned out in a sea of fabricated stories. As we may never know the full story of Dannii Erskine, it's essential to remember the power of social media and our responsibility in using it wisely. Our words online can have a significant impact on our mental health and that of those around us. We must make sure to be conscious and respectful of our online behaviour, especially when discussing sensitive topics like mental health.

We must stress that the well-being—or lack thereof—of Dannii Erskine has not been officially confirmed by the media.
