A four-year-old boy died when a rotten tree trunk fell on him while he was on holiday, an inquest has heard. Louis William Ellor, from Devon, died while on holiday in Brittany, France.
Louis was staying with a grandparent in Saint Marine when a tree fell onto him. The inquest heard a manslaughter investigation had been opened against the landowners.
On August 28, 2019, Louis had been walking into the garden at a holiday home in France, behind his grandmother, Anne Gore, who, at the time, was on the telephone. Mr Arrow told the inquest that Mrs Gore heard a large cracking sound from behind her.
