A farmer attacked by one of his stags at a deer farm in North Yorkshire died from chest injuries, a post-mortem examination has revealed.
Clifford Colling, 73, died at Moor Farm at Hunmanby Gap, near Filey, on Monday after entering an enclosure where his deer were being kept.
The 73-year-old also suffered wounds to his face and legs in the attack.
"An inquest is likely to be opened by the coroner later this week," a North Yorkshire police spokeswoman said.
