Skid-Norge is in shock over the terrible news about the 18-year-old’s death.
– The church has been open to those who wish to go there and there have been many who have wanted to do so, says the school’s principal to VG.
– It is very sad and the schoolmates are very affected by this. Everyone reacts differently in grief and those who were closest to her are naturally very affected. As I got to know her, she was very gentle and caring.
Schoolmates and friends have visited the ski track where she collapsed and left flowers to show their grief. Both school and municipality have now gone into crisis mode.
Rest in peace, Camilla! 🌹
