Initially, the TV favourite was simply diagnosed with a sprained wrist where she was sent to the school nurse to have her hand wrapped up in a bandage.
However, things took a turn for the worse later that evening after Chlo suffered a sharp pain in her head which saw her collapse to the kitchen floor.
Her concerned husband rushed to call ambulance but by the time the family had made it to the hospital, the young mum had been pronounced dead.
