But one freak trap during Sunday night’s festivities saw the British officer sever the carotid artery in his neck, causing heavy bleeding.

Lilly, a nurse, along with health workers and police officers who attended the party, did everything they could to save Liam’s life, but his injuries were too serious.

On Wednesday, the devastated lover opened up about her heartache, saying her fiancé was “really excited to be a father.”

She said Daily Mail Australia: “I’ve never known love like Liam’s and this heartbreak and emptiness is just so overwhelming.

“He will always be the love of my life and our baby will know the wonderful man he was.”

Liam took part in the BBC series Wanted Down Under, in which a teenager receives advice about life in Australia before they migrated.

However, it appears that his scenes were never used.

He moved from Great Britain to Australia when he was a teenager and later graduated from the Joondalup Police Academy.

The Brit then joined the gang crime squad and tactical response group, where he built his career as an exemplary officer.

In 2017, Liam moved to Kalgoorlie – about 600 kilometers east of Perth – where he became a prominent member of the community while playing for the local club. rugby team.

Lilly’s good friend Mel Kelly created one GoFundMe page earlier on Wednesday to increase money for the expectant mother.

She said Lilly had lost her “soulmate” and may now be raising her baby alone while trying to make ends meet.

The fundraiser read: “Lilly’s world was shattered by a freak accident that claimed the life of her beloved fiancé.

“The evening was intended to be a joyful celebration of Lilly and Liam’s recent engagement and the announcement of their pregnancy, a huge milestone in their journey together.

“Friends and family gathered to share in their happiness. In a cruel turn of events, Liam’s life was cut short, leaving a void that can never be filled.

“Lilly, a dedicated clinical nurse at Royal Perth Hospital, now finds herself in uncharted waters.

“Not only has she lost her soulmate, but she also carries within her the precious gift of new life.

“Now almost 14 weeks pregnant, Lilly is faced with the prospect of raising a child without her beloved partner, while also grappling with the financial responsibilities that come with home ownership.”

Friends and colleagues have taken to social media to pay tribute to Mr Trimmer in the days following his death.

A friend described him as “possibly the strongest guy” in a local trekking group.

They wrote: “Great sense of humor with a passion to excel.

“In my opinion, society cannot afford to lose guys like Liam [who had] the courage to go into the oven every day and deal with the ‘tough side of police work’.

“The boys are sore this week, but they have continued with major training and domestic operations.”

Another said: “It’s been a sad few days at the office.

“Lots of hugs and lots of tears. But… the boys are pushing through and getting stuck into their training. Hopefully it’s a good distraction.”

A third friend commented: “He was like that from day one [police] academy – you couldn’t help but not like him.”

He is remembered by his colleagues in the WA Police Union as an “extraordinary officer” and a “valued member of the blue family”.

Western Australia Police Commissioner Col Blanch said: “Everything was done to save him, but it wasn’t to be, and I know everyone involved is really hurting.

“I think they wish they could just wake up from this nightmare.”

“This extraordinary officer loved helping the community and was a great example of WA policing and it is just such a tragedy,” Mr Blanch said.

“[He was] a very confident, capable young man with his whole life ahead of him, and that’s how sad this is.

“It’s important now that we wrap ourselves around each other and lean on each other.”

The exact cause of the accident has not been confirmed.

A report will be prepared for the coroner.
