Another agonising blow for family of Channel Nine sports reporter who was killed in a Thailand motorcycle crash
The family of former Channel Nine sports reporter Nicole Fitzsimons, who was killed in a crash more than a decade ago, has been left devastated again after her mother died in a traffic accident. Julie Fitzsimons, 65, was hit by a vehicle on Wednesday across from Wyoming Rib & Chop House in Sheridan, Wyoming. She was taken to Sheridan Memorial Hospital where she died from her injuries, The Sheridan Press reported. The driver who struck the Australian mother spoke to local police and an investigation is ongoing. It comes more than a decade after Nicole Fitzsimons, Julie's daughter, died in Thailand. The 24-year-old was riding a motorbike in October 2012 when a speeding rider on the wrong side of the road collided with her. The Fitzsimons family launched the Nicole Fitzsimons Foundation following her death to help raise awareness of travel safety and supporting passionate athletes. Following the tragic news about Julie, the family released a statement through the foundation's social media page. 'With broken hearts we share the devastating news that we lost our beautiful mum and the heartbeat of Nicole's Foundation,' it said on Instagram. 'She was the rock of our family, a joy to be around and adored by all who knew her. 'We are absolutely shattered and ask for space as we navigate the difficult process of bringing her back home.' The family said details of the celebration of her life would be released later. 'For now, we find some solace in knowing she's reunited with her beloved daughter, Nicole,' the statement said. 'The Fitzy family will never be the same, but we will rebuild once again in their honour - just like they would want us to.' In the wake of Nicole's death 12 years ago, her sister Kate quit a corporate job to dedicate her time to the foundation's work of raising awareness to how many Australians have died while travelling. 'I began researching how many other poor families had suffered what we've been through,' she said in 2016. 'And I soon realised far too many Aussies are compromising their safety in foreign countries.' Ms Gladdin (born Fitzsimons), who is an author, life coach and speaker and lives in Sheridan, took to Instagram to share a personal tribute to her mother. 'I am so broken, but through the depth of my love for you and Nicole, I will do my best to rebuild and live as fully as I can in honour of you both,' she said on Thursday. 'You truly were a rainbow to everyone who knew you, always brightening their day in anyway you could. 'I will forever love and miss you Mum. Please hug my sister for me so, so tight. My broken heart beats for you both now.'

85% of Organizations Experienced Data Loss in 2024: New DataNumen Report Reveals Alarming Trends
Sheridan, Wyoming--(Newsfile Corp. - May 29, 2025) - DataNumen, a global leader in data recovery solutions, has released its highly anticipated Data Loss Statistics Report 2024, shedding light on the severity, causes, and consequences of data loss incidents across businesses worldwide. According to the report, an overwhelming 85% of organizations experienced one or more data loss incidents over the past year. Even more concerning, 93% of businesses that suffer prolonged data loss lasting more than 10 days go bankrupt within a year, underscoring the catastrophic impact such events can have on long-term business viability. Key Findings: Hardware failure remains the leading technical cause of data loss (40-44%), followed by human error (29-32%). 33% of users send at least two misdirected emails annually—posing a major risk for data exposure. The average cost of downtime ranges from $427 per minute for small businesses to $9,000 per minute for larger enterprises. 93% of companies suffering data loss for more than 10 days file for bankruptcy within one year. Only 38% of businesses have a mature Data Loss Prevention (DLP) program in place. "Our research confirms that data loss is not just an IT issue — it's a critical business risk," said Chongwei Chen, President & CEO of DataNumen. "The consequences go beyond lost files. We're talking about massive financial losses, operational disruption, reputational damage, and in many cases, the end of the business itself." The report also highlights the growing threat of generative AI misuse, with AI-related alerts rapidly becoming one of the most frequently implemented data loss prevention rules. About DataNumen DataNumen is a world-renowned data recovery company serving customers in over 240 countries and regions. Its award-winning software is trusted by Fortune 500 companies, governments, and consumers worldwide to recover lost or damaged data from all types of storage media.
