Sunday 17th April 2009, Entwistle's Ex-partner Claire Atkinson, was found dead in the front passenger seat of a Hyundai car when it crashed in Thornton Cleveleys. Police were called by paramedics and it was established that her injuries were not caused by the impact of the collision. Claire was found with multiple stab wounds to the chest.
