The next morning, however, she did not come to breakfast and they went to check on her. They found her laying in bed feeling sick.

They revealed in their Instagram post that her symptoms "swiftly escalated in sudden cardiac arrest" later that day. She was resuscitated by her mother and rushed to a nearby hospital where they put her into a medically induced coma.

The young model was transferred to a specialist hospital in Munich. However, once there she suffered organ failure. Her family says tests are still being done to determine what caused Lotte's heart attack.
