A 78-year-old man, John Orton, dies after being injured in an incident described as being “trampled by cattle” at Felbrigg Hall, a National Trust property in Norfolk. He dies on July 13 after sustaining injuries, with reports citing severe chest injuries.
An inquest into his death is opened at Norfolk Coroner’s Court and is heard on Friday, according to multiple outlets. The accounts agree on the broad circumstances: Orton is hurt by cattle at the estate and later dies from the injuries.
One outlet notes that the fatal incident comes roughly 19 years after an earlier tragedy at the same National Trust site, while other reports focus on the inquest and the medical cause of death. Across sources, the details of what led to the encounter and any contributory factors are not reported in the provided summaries.
