Police have ruled out the possibility of criminal proceedings following the death of a Swansea City fan trampled to death by a police horse outside a football game last year. <\/p>\n

South Yorkshire Police have said no action will be taken after the death of Terry Coles in an incident outside Rotherham United’s Millmoor ground on May 6th 2000. <\/p>\n

Mr Coles, 41, died in hospital after suffering a fractured skull and crush injuries before the third division championship decider between the two clubs. <\/p>\n

South Yorkshire Police had called in colleagues from the West Yorkshire force to investigate the incident and the Police Complaints Authority was notified. <\/p>\n

The tragedy unfolded as rival supporters threw missiles at each other as about 100 Swansea fans were escorted to Rotherham’s Millmoor Lane ground. <\/p>\n

Security video footage showed people crouching against a wall outside the ground trying to escape the missiles. <\/p>\n

There was no suggestion that Mr Coles was involved in any violence – his friends said he was trying to calm the situation down. <\/p>\n

The police horse, one of three in the vicinity, was cantering down a slope to deal with the trouble when it collided with Mr Coles. <\/p>\n

At the time of the tragedy South Yorkshire Police Assistant Chief Constable Tim Hollis said: “The victim had not seen the horse and he appeared to be walking into the line of the animal. <\/p>\n

“It quite clearly rides over him.” <\/p>\n

It is understood that a post mortem examination showed that he suffered a fractured skull as he fell to the ground, but crush injuries to his spleen and kidney were the cause of death.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
