Netflix star Sara Burack's tragic last hours before hit & run death as friend slams cops and begs suspect to speak up
THE best friend of a reality TV star killed in a hit and run on Thursday alleges police have left her family "in the dark" about the motorist who fled the scene. Netflix's Million Dollar Beach House star Sara Burack, 40, was found unconscious by a roadside in The Hamptons in New York shortly before 3 am on Thursday, authorities have confirmed. 4 She was taken to hospital with severe injuries and died hours later surrounded by those closest to her. Sara's close friend Paulette Orlando-Corsair told The U.S. Sun she was with her pal during her final moments and is appealing for help to find the driver. She said, "I don't know what she was doing at the time, she would just galavant, she lives near there and could have been visiting someone. "I don't know if she just stepped out into the street and someone just mowed her down. "At that time of night you're not really thinking a car is gonna come by, maybe she wasn't paying attention. I don't know what happened. "I know people that saw her that night, she was in good spirits. There's no doubt in my mind, she didn't jump in front of a car." Asked about the police investigation, she said, "We've been left in the dark here. "I'm p****ed off at them because she died and it was already written about an hour later, her father didn't even know what was going on, I'm really upset at that. "The father is not well at home alone. I was with her mother at the hospital." Orlando-Corsair also insisted Burack was not pronounced dead shortly after the accident, saying she kept fighting and "lingered on for quite a while." ESPN legend John Brenkus' tragic cause of death aged 54 announced as family make desperate plea "She was on life support and after she was taken off she still lived for another half an hour," her friend continued. 'The doctors said, 'We don't know if she can hear you but you can talk to her.' "We kept on saying, 'Sara, we're here for you, you're not alone.' I wanted her to know she wasn't alone. "It's just sickening. How can you hit someone and just take off like that? "It was a very commercial area, there's several eating establishments, a gas station, all the things. "I don't know if they've found the person yet or they're still looking. They haven't told me anything." Paulette went on, "I'm wondering if it was a drunk driver. The Hamptons is notorious for DWI. That's our crime here. "I would pray that anyone who saw this or knows anything about it to please contact the town of Southhampton police, which is ironically two minutes from where this happened. "They can just walk in there, even if they want to tip anonymously. Leave a paper at the police station." She begged, "Please do it. Someone died in a horrendous way. "Her brain was so damaged, she had multiple fractures, so much swelling, brain bleeding, her liver was damaged, her leg was broken in two places." Both a New York State Police Accident Reconstruction Unit and detectives from the Southampton Town Police Department investigated the scene. The U.S. Sun has made several attempts to contact the Town of Southhampton Police Department. Burack had previously said her family ran a commercial construction and material sales business that she spent years working for before moving into the luxury real estate market. "I have always been intrigued by real estate projects and decided to become a broker after my experience as a summer property manager in the summer house I would rent," she told Burack was a household name for fans of Netflix reality show Million Dollar House, which saw real estate agents pitted against one another. "The competition is fierce - and the drama undeniable - as a group of young and hungry agents try to seal the deal on luxury listings in the Hamptons," according to the description of the show on Netflix's website. Burack had described the show as a glimpse into the lavish lifestyle of the rich and aspiring. "Viewers will be taken into the world of the Hamptons where they will see not only beautiful multimillion-dollar beach homes and estates, but will be shown summer in the Hamptons," she told "With scenes from broker open houses, polo games, yacht life and more, there is sure to be an awww from viewers!" Anyone with information about the crash is asked to call police at 631-702-2230 or 631-728-3400. 4 4
