It was supposed to be a day of celebration for Liam Trimmer and his fiancé.
Instead, it ended in tragedy after the off-duty police officer fell and died while celebrating with his friends.
According to Col Blanch, there were many people at the party who tried to save him, but he was already dead.
Despite the efforts of everyone involved, it wasn’t enough to save him.
He was 29 years old and moved to Western Australia to pursue a career in law enforcement.
He graduated from the police academy in Joondalup and moved to Kalgoorlie, where he became a part of the local rugby team.
Trimmer was a popular member of the local law enforcement community, and he encouraged other British nationals to move to WA.
He eventually joined the tactical response group and the gang crime squad. According to Blanch, he was a fine example of how law enforcement in the state was conducted.
The Western Australia Police Union expressed its condolences to the family and friends of the fallen officer.
Paul Gale, the union’s president, said that every death of a law enforcer is deeply felt by the entire police family.
Rita Saffioti, the deputy premier, described the death of Trimmer as an awful tragedy.
The WA Police are supporting the family and fellow officers of Liam Trimmer.
A report will be submitted to the coroner regarding the incident.
