Spotted by James Higham, Julia M and Tim Almond in The Guardian:
A second fatality caused by cows has been made public by police, meaning there have been two such deaths within a fortnight in the north of England. Malcolm Flynn, 72, from Carlisle, died after being charged by cows, police said on Friday.
Police asked for witnesses after Flynn was fatally injured in what they said was a tragic incident while he was walking on land near Thirlwall Castle and Gisland, Northumberland, at around 11.45am on Friday 11 September. Police said he died at the location, which is on the Pennine Way.
No mention of dogs in that article, or in the BBC's version.

If there were no witnesses, how do the police know he was "charged by cows"?
B, he was out walking with a friend (who presumably told them or the ambulance people). There were people in the vicinity, listed in the article, who the police want to come forward.
