Her shattered family have broken their silence to pay tribute to a free spirit who never said no to an adventure or opportunity. Courtney was also a much-loved DJ and played at some of Melbourne's nightlife hotspots including Metropol, Cushion, Secret Garden, Hotel Barkley and Motel Eve before launching an international career.
"She was beautiful, big-hearted, happy and go lucky," her mum Diane Mayne told Nine News. "She lived life to the fullest," the devastated mum added. Courtney's sister Kiani said that her death has been ruled as an accident. She told the Herald Sun: "It's just the grief and mourning of a life that's been lost way too early.".
