BBC EastEnders fan spots eerie coincidence as Lola Pearce dies in heartbreaking scenes
AN eagle-eyed fan has pointed out an eerie coincidence in last night's tragic episode of EastEnders.
Viewers watched with tears running down their face as Lola Pearce, played by Danielle Harold, died peacefully surrounded by Jay and Lexi.
She drew her final breath just as the sun started to rise in and now one fan has pointed out how Lola might have died at the exact same time she was born.
They drew upon information from earlier this year when Lola's mum, played by Patsy Kensit, revealed the exact moment that Lola was born.
Writing on Twitter, the fan said: "Lola’s mum said that Lola was born at 4:23am.
"Jay removed the clock batteries at 3:45am.

"What’s the betting she actually died at her birth time, just like Abi did?"
Fans have watched for months as Lola battled against the illness but she lost her fight during the latest episode of the BBC soap.
