Wragby farm man fatally trampled by cow, inquest hears
A man has died after being trampled by a cow on a Lincolnshire farm, officials have confirmed.
Police and the Health and Safety Executive are investigating the incident, which happened at a farm in Wragby, on Easter Sunday.
John Turner, a 60-year-old stockman, was seriously injured by the cow and died a week later in Hull Royal Infirmary.
An inquest into his death has been opened and adjourned.
This latest incident follows a number of cases where people have been seriously injured, or killed by cattle.
Last November, a Sheffield woman suffered a broken collarbone, arms and ribs when she was trampled by cows whilst taking part in a treasure hunt, in North Scarle, Lincolnshire.
While in a recent case in Nottinghamshire, a farmer was cleared of manslaughter after his bull was alleged to have attacked a walker.
However, evidence during the trial suggested a cow with horns could have been responsible.
Mr Turner's funeral will be held later this month.
