Investigators are currently investigating the situation surrounding Ashley's death
A 20-year-old Texas woman fell off her ski motorcycle and died just hours after sending her boyfriend a relaxing video.
Ashley Gil disappeared in a area of Lake Houston, Disson Park, after falling off from Tuesday, June 17, and her body was restored on Thursday, June 19, according to the Houston Police Department (HPD).
Ashley allegedly fell off a motorboat when she dropped her life jacket from the motorboat.
People contacted HPD on Sunday, June 22, but received no immediate response.
Ashley's boyfriend Jason Rogriguez said in a statement to ABC 13 Houston that he was working in town the day of the incident and he received a video that day about a few hours before she allegedly fell, Ashley had fun on a motorboat.
She wore a life jacket in the video, which he shared with the socket.
Jason also told ABC 13 that his and Ashley’s loved ones still had questions about what happened that day.
Investigators are waiting for Ashley's autopsy results to confirm her death, and they are currently investigating the tragedy around ABC 13.

Deussen Park is closed on June 17 and will be closed on Wednesday, June 18, while police work with the search and rescue team to find the victims, a press release from the office of Commissioner Rodney Ellis said.
Ellis confirmed in a statement shared later on June 19 that the body of a “young woman” had been found.
“My heart is for her family, her loved ones and everyone affected by this tragic loss,” he said.
Ashley's sister Kathy Gil has since created a Gofundme to help her mother pay for Ashley's funeral, as well as any other unexpected expenses that may arise due to the loss.
“Ashley is so many lives, full of love, laughter and kindness. Her spirit is incredible and touches everyone around her. Her absence leaves deep gaps in the hearts of our family, friends and all those who know her,” Gofundme read.
As of Sunday, June 22, GoFundMe has raised nearly $8,000 with a target of $10,000.
