The family of a pensioner who died after being trampled by a runaway cow have paid tribute to the much-loved grandfather. Huw Evans, 75, was "attacked" by a cow which had escaped from the Whitland Mart livestock market in Carmarthenshire, said Dyfed-Powys Police.
Mr Evans, from Whitland, was airlifted to hospital after being injured in the centre of the town at around 10.15am on Saturday, November 19, but he died six days later. In a statement his family said: “Huw was a loved dad, dadcu, brother, uncle, and friend to many. We would like to thank the community for their support and well wishes while Huw was in hospital and since his passing. We now know how much he will be missed.”
Dyfed-Powys Police said Mr Evans' family had asked to be allowed to grieve in private. The force and the Health and Safety Executive watchdog are investigating the incident.
