一名馬術(shù)運動人士被她的馬活活壓死

A UK equestrian who faced charges for whipping animal rights activists during a hunt died when she was crushed to death by a horse, a probe into her demise revealed.

一名在狩獵活動中因鞭打動物權(quán)益活動家而面臨指控的英國馬術(shù)運動員，被一匹馬壓后不治而亡。

Jane Miller, 57, was riding her horse on a hunting expedition last November in Surrey when the animal became stuck in barbed wire and grew distressed, Metro UK reported.

據(jù)英國《地鐵報》報道，57歲的簡·米勒去年11月在薩里郡騎馬進行狩獵探險時，這匹馬被鐵絲網(wǎng)卡住了，變得很痛苦。

“She was trying to keep hold of the horse but that’s when it fell backwards on top of her and she struggled to breathe,” a witness, James Etheridge, told the court.

目擊者詹姆斯埃瑟里奇(James Etheridge)在法庭上說，“她試圖抓住馬，但就在這時，馬向后倒在她身上，她掙扎著呼吸。”

Emergency crews responded to the accident and attempted to save the huntswoman to no avail.

緊急救援人員對事故作出了反應(yīng)，試圖挽救她，但沒有成功。

“The head specialist team arrived and they tried to resuscitate but she was confirmed dead at the scene,” Surrey police constable Robert Lawrence said.

薩里郡警官羅伯特·勞倫斯說:“首席專家小組趕到現(xiàn)場，他們試圖讓她蘇醒過來，但她被證實當(dāng)場死亡。”

The investigation into her death concluded this week with a court hearing that determined her cause of death was blunt chest trauma.

對她的死因的調(diào)查在本周結(jié)束，法庭聽證會認(rèn)定她的死因是胸部鈍傷。

Miller’s death came just weeks before her trial for whipping two activists as many as 17 times with a riding crop. The 2017 incident was caught on video and showed her calling them “uneducated peasants,” the news outlet reported.

就在死前幾周，米勒因用馬鞭抽打兩名活動人士多達17次而受審。據(jù)新聞媒體報道，2017年的事件被拍了下來，視頻顯示她稱他們是“沒有受過教育的農(nóng)民”。
