The girlfriend of the police officer who died in a tragic accident has made a massive revelation in the wake of her fiancé's death.
On Sunday, Liam Trimmer and his fiancée Lilly Watts gathered with family and friends at their Western Australian home to announce their engagement when the 29-year-old reportedly fell backward, and sustained a fatal cut to his neck, as per The Sydney Morning Herald.
Despite efforts from those present to assist Trimmer, they were unable to save his life, as confirmed by Western Australia Police Force Commissioner Col Blanch, who described the incident as a "nightmare."
"I know everyone that was involved are really, really hurting," he said. "I think they wish they could just wake up from this nightmare."
According to The Telegraph, an investigation has been launched into the matter to identify an official cause of death.
In the wake of the terrible accident, Trimmer's fiancée has revealed that she is pregnant with her late partner's child and will now be raising the baby all alone.
Speaking to Daily Mail Australia, Watts opened up about Timmer's reaction to becoming a dad, stating that he was "excited" about the couple's new chapter.
"I have never known a love like Liam’s and this heartbreak and emptiness is just so overwhelming," she said. "He will always be the love of my life and our baby will know the wonderful man he was."
A friend of Watts also revealed further details in the description of a GoFundMe page set up to help the fiancée look after the child after it's born.
"Tragically, on Saturday night, Lilly’s world was shattered by a freak accident that claimed the life of her beloved fiancé, Senior Constable Liam Trimmer," Mel, an old friend of Watts' wrote.
"Lilly, a dedicated Clinical Registered Nurse at Royal Perth Hospital, now finds herself navigating uncharted waters," she continued. "Not only has she lost her soulmate, but she also carries the precious gift of new life within her. At almost 14 weeks pregnant, Lilly now faces the prospect of raising a child without her beloved partner, while also grappling with the financial responsibilities that come with homeownership."
Mel urged people to give whatever they could in the hopes that it can "help light the path forward for Lilly and honor the memory of the man she loved so dearly."
The page has so far raised over $74,000 of it's $100,000 target.
Trimmer relocated from the United Kingdom to Kalgoorlie, Australia in 2017 to continue his career as part of the Joondalup Police Academy.
