Olympian Lisa Curry has revealed her suspicions that her daughter Jaimi Kenny may have been “bashed” in the lead-up to her tragic death at the age of 33.

Curry told Healthy Her podcast that her eldest child with ex-husband and former Ironman Grant Kenny would send her photos of bruises on her body.

Jaimi Kenny died in 2020 following a long battle with alcoholism and anorexia.

Curry told the podcast that Jaimi had explained the bruising in the pictures as “bumping into things”.

“We had this thing going where she would send me a photo of a little flower growing out of the concrete, or she’d send me a beautiful door, or her breakfast, or herself covered in bruises,” Curry told host Amelia Phillips.

“I’ve got photos on my phone where a couple of times I’ve looked at them and I’m thinking ‘hang on a minute, what happened here?’.”

Curry said, looking back at the pictures, she now suspected that something more sinister may have been happening.

“It looks like someone [had] bashed her,” Curry said.

“I’m not quite 100 per cent sure that that didn’t happen, because of the photos on my phone.

“I knew some of the really dodgy people that were around her, and now when I look at the photos I think, ‘you don’t get a black eye [from bumping into things]’,” she said.

Jaimi Kenny died at the Sunshine Coast University Hospital with her family by her side.

She was “really, really unwell, and we couldn’t save her”, Curry told Phillips.

Days after her daughter’s death, Curry wrote on social media that her family’s grief was immense.

“Sadly, I know that we are not the only parents who have lost a child … so to all the parents who have lost a child, and to those who will, today, tomorrow … somehow I guess we get through it.

“Go and give your children the biggest hug and tell them how much you love them, and do that everyday because you’ll never know if it’s the last day.”
