Before she hit the stage, Ilene Alloverya told Donna Dumae that she had a dramatic performance in store. It was the last number of Dumae’s 12th annual “Friends Helping Friends” fundraiser for AIDS Services of Dallas held last Sunday, Aug. 31 at the Dallas Eagle.
At one point during her “Nobody Does It Like Me” number, Alloverya crawled across the floor to accept a tip from Dumae.
“During the song, he threw out his arms and then just dropped to the floor. It was incredible. At first, I laughed, thinking ‘Oh Ilene, you were right. That certainly was dramatic,’” remembers Don Jenkins (a.k.a. Donna Dumae).
But then Ilene Alloverya didn’t move. So Jenkins hit the stage yelling, “Ilene!” Others in the audience rushed the stage, too. A registered nurse began cardiopulmonary resuscitation, and Eagle owner JD Buchert began mouth-to-mouth, Jenkins remembers, “But it was too late.”
“It appears he suffered a massive coronary arrest,” Jenkins says.
Chip Doran (a.k.a. Ilene Alloverya) was 55 years old — a retiree and former Dallasite who relocated to Austin and drove to Dallas for the Labor Day weekend fundraiser. The United Court of the Lone Star Empire, a 30-year-old volunteer organization that raises money for Dallas charities, organizes “Friends Helping Friends.”
From Marie Osmond to Kelly Rowland (clip below), stars know the new thing in entertainment is the unsuspected fall-out.
Wear kneepads, sluts!
