An inquest into the death of a Westmeath farmer has found he died due to an accident.
Seamus Smyth died after he being trampled by cattle, while herding on his farm.
76-year-old Seamus Smyth was described as a content man who farmed all his life, liked a few drinks in the pub and was a very happy bachelor.
