    At Portsmouth Magistrates' Court an inquest jury has determined a verdict of accidental death having listened to evidence and opinion concerning the fatal crushing of a 58-year old farmer by a bull at a farm in Clanfield, Hampshire, in November 2010.The deceased was experienced with handling bulls but opinion was expressed that the bull did not recognise him for a variety of reasons and this provoked the hostile attack by the animal.
