A 29-year-old newlywed who died during a freak golf-buggy accident on her honeymoon has been identified as Marina Hanna Morgan.
Marina and Robbie Morgan celebrated their wedding at Doltone House in Sydney on June 11 before heading to Hamilton Island to embark on their honeymoon, according to a report from Nine News.

Queensland Police said the man was performing a U-turn when the golf buggy flipped and killed his wife, 29, who was a passenger in the vehicle.
A firefighter and dentist who happened to be on the island fought to save Morgan after the buggy overturned on Whitsunday Boulevard, but she had gone into cardiac arrest.

They were joined by a doctor and paramedic from the island who performed CPR for 35 minutes to no avail.
Robbie Morgan owns a home renovation construction company in Quakers Hill called Outright Property Solutions. Until her death, Marina ran a complementary real estate marketing company under a similar name.
Golf buggies are the only vehicles allowed on Hamilton Island, Inspector Anthony Cowan described the fatality as a tragedy.
“I could only imagine how the driver is feeling, when you’re on your honeymoon and your partner’s now deceased,” Cowan said on Wednesday.
“In this incident alone there was no alcohol involved and no dangerous driving, obviously inexperienced driving that type of vehicle and a simple crash has resulted in this result.
“It’s certainly an indication of how precious life is and how dangerous all vehicles on the road can be if not used correctly.”
Cowan maintained Hamilton Island is safe to visit with “hundreds” of buggies that drive daily without incident.
