'I will always love you my brother': Andrew Symonds' sister pens emotional note after his demise

Australian all-rounder Andrew Symonds’ sister Louise left an emotional note at his accident site after her brother passed away on Saturday, 14 May. On Sunday, Symonds’ sister visited the accident spot and left a handwritten note. In the emotional letter, Louise wrote that her heart was “broken” after Symonds’ demise, adding that she would always love her brother. Symonds passed away in a car accident in Townsville when he lost control of his vehicle and the car veered off the road. According to reports, bystanders rushed to the accident site but were not able to save the former Australian cricketer, who succumbed to his injuries. “Gone far too soon!“ Rest in peace Andrew. I wish we had one more day, one more phone call. My heart is broken. I will always love you, my brother,” the note read.

The Queensland Police are currently investigating the matter and will be preparing a report on the incident. As per Channel 9, there were a lot of brake marks on the road from where the 46-year-old’s car veered off before it rolled. Police are also probing why Symonds’ car swerved off the road.
