A freak accident

[Jazzy]

A British man who moved to Australia and became a respected police officer has died in a freak accident at his engagement party after falling and cutting his neck.

Liam Trimmer, 29, and his fiancée, a nurse, threw a party on Sunday at their home in Western Australia to announce to family and friends that they were getting married.

An inquest has been opened.

Curious if booze was the culprit. Why write the article unless they can explain in further detail how he actually died.

What are your thoughts?

Well, that's sad! I wish they would have given more details on what he fell on to cause such a bad cut on his neck that they couldn't stop the bleeding.

Who knows. Maybe it was a slow news day.

I'm not sure it makes any difference what underlying causes might have triggered it. Maybe he was drunk, maybe he had an unknown medical condition that caused him to black out and fall. Maybe he was juggling with chainsaws and it went tragically wrong. Sometimes life just throws a freak accident out there and it's all but impossible to protect from it because it's such a freak event that to even try and protect ourselves from it would be impractical.
