'Roadkill' pensioner famous for collecting and cooking pheasants and rats dies

A "kind and generous" man famous for collecting and cooking roadkill has died after a battle of cancer.

Arthur Boyt, 83, who lived on a farm at Davidstow in Cornwall with his wife, Sue, would eat badgers, pheasants, rats and other animals that he found by the roadside.

His take on cuisine was so unusual that he made headlines around the world, and even wrote a book on how to cook roadkill, while he enjoyed an outdoor life that included going on long runs into his 80s.
