In a heartbreaking turn of events, Sara Burack, beloved star of Netflix’s *Million Dollar Beach House*, was tragically killed in a hit-and-run incident at the age of 40. The accident occurred early Thursday morning, June 19, in the serene setting of Hampton Bays, New York, where police are actively searching for the driver responsible.
Burack was discovered on Montauk Highway, near the Villa Paul Restaurant, shortly before 3 AM. A concerned passer-by noticed a woman lying in the road and promptly dialed 911. Emergency responders arrived quickly, finding Sara unconscious and with “injuries consistent with being hit by a car.” Despite immediate medical attention, she sadly succumbed to her injuries later that day.
Detectives from the Southampton Town Police Department, alongside a New York State Police Accident Reconstruction Unit, have been dispatched to the scene to piece together the events leading up to this devastating incident. Investigators have yet to interview witnesses, leaving them with limited details about the vehicle involved and its driver.
Known for her participation in *Million Dollar Beach House*, which echoes the competitive atmosphere of shows like *Selling Sunset*, Burack made her mark in the real estate world as a dedicated agent for Nest Seekers International before parting ways with the firm over a year ago.
Geoff Gifkins, Burack’s former regional manager, expressed his condolences, stating, “Our thoughts and prayers are with family and friends. Please be kind and respectful as this is a tremendous loss to her parents and close friends.â€Â
Close friend and fellow real estate agent Paulette Corsair echoed these sentiments to Newsda”I want people to remember she was an amazing person who really cared for people. She was a hardworking real estate agent who was there for others. She was loved greatly by her friends and a close family.” The tragic news has sent shockwaves throughout the real estate community and beyond, as fans and colleagues alike remember Burack not just for her impressive career, but for her warmth and generosity.
