A bride-to-be, identified as Jessica Lally, has died while riding a bucking bronco on a night out.

The 26-year-old was said to have died from a heart attack after she fell off the bull at Broncoโ€™s Rodeo in West Street, Sheffield.

The SUN reports that Jessica, who was a manager for a jewelry company, Pandora, was planning to tie the knot with her partner before tragedy struck.

Jessicaโ€™s mum, 66-year-old Joan said: โ€œSheโ€™d got her whole life planned. They were going to get married.

โ€œShe always wrote these fantastic Christmas lists, but that year sheโ€™d just put: a house, a ring, and a baby.โ€

โ€œI donโ€™t know why she decided to go on it. She was just having fun I suppose,โ€ Joan continued.

โ€œSheโ€™d just gone out for a night out and then we had police at the door at midnight. Weโ€™re still going through it now. Sometimes we still fall into pieces. Itโ€™s been heartbreaking.โ€

General manager of Broncoโ€™s Rodeo, Christopher Brown, said that Jessica โ€œappeared to suffer from a fitโ€ and that the bull was โ€œmoving on the slowest speedโ€.

He said: โ€œFrom the CCTV the lady in question appeared to be out having a good time with her friends and excited to ride the bull.

โ€œShe passed all of our safety checks before mounting the bull.

โ€œShe then very quickly after the ride started appeared to have lost consciousness sliding off under her own body weight.

He further added that: โ€œThe venue decided to close the following week allowing our staff to recover from the shock and allowing police and the council to do their investigation.

โ€œThe councilโ€™s investigation shows that the cause of death was not related to the bull and unfortunately we havenโ€™t been given the official cause of death yet.โ€
