    The horse, Urasio, was sold after the incident and died earlier this month.

    A spokesman for Norwich HSE said the cause of the horse’s death was protein-losing entropathy due to severe worm damage.

    “The damage was long standing and no reflection on the last owners, who only owned the horse for three months,” he said.

    A date is still to be set for the inquest into the death of Ms Bullett, 57.
