Performer suffers apparent massive coronary in middle of routine



TRAGIC FINALE: On Sunday, Aug, 31, Chip Doran (a.k.a. Ilene Alloverya), died at the Dallas Eagle during the climax of her “Nobody Does It Like Me” number.

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).
