A man in his 70s has died after being trampled by cattle while walking at a National Trust estate in Norfolk. Emergency services were called to the Felbrigg Hall Estate, near Cromer, shortly before midday on Monday, July 13. Despite paramedics' efforts, the man suffered serious injuries and died at the scene.
Investigation launched by police and HSE
Norfolk Police confirmed that an investigation is underway alongside the Health and Safety Executive (HSE). A spokesperson said: 'His next of kin have been informed. Officers are investigating alongside colleagues from the Health and Safety Executive.'
