A realtor from NestSeekers International, who is a close family friend, shared with Fox News Digital that she was with Burack's mother and sister at the hospital before her tragic death.
Burack went into cardiac arrest at the scene, but was revived and was put on life support, according to the friend. She suffered extensive brain injuries, a fractured skull and various brain bleeds.
"She was just a great person… a hard worker. Real estate was her life for so many years," she shared with Fox News Digital. The two worked together at NestSeekers International before Burack's sudden death.
When Burack wasn't involved in real estate projects, Fox News Digital's source said that her dear friend enjoyed raising money for philanthropy and charity events. Burack co-chaired galas and black-tie events in New York City while raising money for several causes and foundations.
