Just two weeks later, on the first night of a holiday in Greece, she was in a tragic road accident, which eventually took her life following a 10-day coma. Lily-Rae had recently completed a course in beauty studies at Barnsley College — she was on holiday celebrating the achievement when the horrific accident occurred.
On September 3, 2024, a heartbroken Callum shared the news of her passing on social media. Posting a picture of his little sister, the boxer wrote: "Absolutely heartbroken to say that my beautiful little sister, Lily-Rae, was in a road accident while on holiday in Zante.
"She was flown to Athens and spent 10 days in ICU, but despite the best efforts of the medical teams, Lily sadly passed away.". He added: "Even though she used to ring me to complain about being referred to as 'Callum Simpson's sister', I know she loved the hype.
