Appeal after man's castle death

Warwick Castle Police are continuing to appeal for witnesses after a 72-year-old visitor died after falling 15ft (4.5m) from a bridge at Warwick Castle.

George Frederick Townley, from Coventry, fell into a moat in the incident on Sunday afternoon.

He was taken by ambulance to hospital but died a short time later.

A post-mortem examination revealed although he suffered a heart attack, he died from head injuries, Warwickshire Police said.

Police said because of this they are "keeping an open mind and seeking information from witnesses".

A report is expected to be issued to the coroner's office in due course.
