Probe into death of dad charged by bull
AN inquest will take place next week into the death of a Hampshire farmer who died after being charged by a bull.
Father-of-two Ian Rook, from Clanfield, near Petersfield, was killed as he attempted to move the animal between two groups of cattle in November 2010.
A passer-by ran to the nearby farmhouse to call for emergency assistance but when they returned to the scene, the popular 58-year-old had died from his injuries.
A coroner in Portsmouth will examine the death at an inquest next Wednesday.
