Teen Australian actress JESSICA JACOBS has been killed in a tragic accident at a Melbourne, Australia train station. She was 17.
Jacobs, a well known TV star in Australia, was involved in an accident at the Cheltenham railway station in Melbourne on Saturday (10May08).
Local authorities believe the tragic death happened after Jacobs fell off the platform into the path of an oncoming train.
The teen star was well known for her starring roles in Australian TV family favourites Saddle Club, Worst Best Friends, Fergus MCPhail and Holly's Heroes.
Jacobs also appeared several times in live productions, including The Sound of Music with Australian veteran TV personalities Bert Newton and Lisa MCCune.
Jacobs' brother, who was with the star at the time of her death, says, "Everybody loved her. I know it's a cliche, but it's really true. She was an inspiration for so many people, always there for everybody."
A service for the star will be held on Friday (16May08) in Melbourne's St Kilda district where more than 400 people are expected to attend.
