Andreea Cristea, 31, an architect from Romania, fell off the the bridge during the attack.
After being pulled from the river, Cristea was diagnosed with a blood clot on the brain. She remained hospitalized and on life support for more than two weeks. Her fatal fall was captured on video at the scene, but it remains unclear if she was pushed off the bridge by the vehicle or if she jumped deliberately to attempt to get away.
"After fighting for her life for over two weeks, our beloved and irreplaceable Andreea – wonderful daughter, sister, partner, dedicated friend and the most unique and life loving person you can imagine – was cruelly and brutally ripped away from our lives in the most heartless and spiritless way,” a statement from Cristea’s family said. "She will always be remembered as our shining ray of light that will forever keep on shining in our hearts."
The family has said that remaining donations for her medical care will be given to charity.
Burnaz was also struck by Masood’s vehicle, breaking his foot, but survived.
“Deeply saddened to hear of the death of Andreea Cristea. Londoners hold her & her loved ones in our thoughts today,” Sadiq Khan, the mayor of London, tweeted.
The other victims who did not survive the attack on the bridge were Aysha Frade, 44, of London; US tourist Kurt Cochran, 54, from Utah; and Leslie Rhodes, 75, of south London. Police officer Keith Palmer, a father of two, was killed at the gates of Parliament.
