UGA Student Back In U.S. After Being On Life Support In Mexico: Report

JACKSONVILLE, FL — A University of Georgia senior who suffered brain hemorrhage while on spring break in Mexico has been reunited with her family, according to Channel 2 Action News.

Liza Burke and her friends were in Cabo San Lucas, where she was diagnosed with arteriovenous malformation. Burke was put on life support after she complained of a headache and began being treated by doctors.

According to Johns Hopkins Medicine, arteriovenous malformation occurs when a group of blood vessels fail to form in the body correctly. Arteries and veins become "unusually tangled and form direct connections, bypassing normal tissues," Johns Hopkins said.

Burke and her mother returned to the U.S. Tuesday morning, Channel 2 reported. It is unknown when her mother joined her in Mexico.

A GoFundMe, organized by friend Jennifer Ritter, has raised more than $130,000 on Burke's behalf.
