A 72-year-old man has died in England after being accused by a herd of cows, authorities said on Friday, the second such death in the country in two weeks.
The “tragic death” of Malcolm Flynn of Carlisle occurred at 11:45 a.m. on Sept. 11 as he was approaching Thrallwall Castle and Gizland, Northumberland, Northumbria, Northumbria police said. Flynn was with a mate when the cows were charged on the farm.

Flann was pronounced dead at the scene, on Penny’s Way, a national trail that stretches across Scotland.
One week before Flynn’s death, teacher Dave Clark died after being injured by a cow while roaming near Richmond, North Yorkshire, according to the Guardian.
Police identified Flynn on Friday and asked witnesses to help with the investigation.
“Our thoughts are with Malcolm’s family because they were as traumatic and tragic as the loss of a loved one.” Said. “We’ve already talked to a lot of witnesses, but we’re still trying to find a lot of people who we think might help – so please get in touch.”
