(AP Photo/David Zalubowski, File) Sarah Burke's family has more than grief to deal with after her tragic death: The skier racked up more than half a million dollars in medical bills after her accident, CTV reports. The family has set up a website seeking donations to help—so far they've raised almost $125,000. It's unclear whether Burke had insurance to cover the kind of accident she suffered; the Canadian Freestyle Ski Association provided coverage for her, but only in CFSA-sanctioned events. Burke was injured during an event put on by her sponsor, Monster Energy. Read These Next Mark Zuckerberg's 'list' has Silicon Valley buzzing. Tillis, who opposes Trump bill, won't seek reelection.
