Liverpool fan, 16, who 'brought a smile to everybody' dies suddenly

A 16-year-old boy who defied doctors after being hit by a car has died suddenly.

Liverpool fan Liam McCallum was just ten years old when he was hit by a car while playing with friends around the corner from his home in Liscolman, Northern Ireland. Liam was paralysed after the accident which also left him unable to talk.

Despite this, Liam's sister Aimee said he "defied every doctor and smiled through every bad card he was given" over the last six years. The 16-year-old was rushed to hospital on Thursday, June 8, after dad Alistair noticed his skin had turned blue.
