A Tory politician died while driving an all-terrain vehicle that flipped over and threw him out in a 'tragic accident'. An inquest heard Anthony Trollope-Bellew, 69, lost control of the vehicle and suffered fatal injuries.
Mr Trollope-Bellew, a father-of-two, was a former leader of the now disbanded West Somerset District Council and a cabinet member at Somerset County Council. He died at the scene of the tragedy last October on his estate in the Quantock Hills in Somerset, despite emergency medical treatment.
The inquest heard he suffered fatal injuries to his head and neck. At the time of his death he was a member of Somerset West and Taunton Council.
