Killed by the gargoyle she hated: Teacher drowned in an
18-inch pond after getting trapped under water by a garden statue
18-inch pond after getting trapped under water by a garden statue
much more, including pictures (of the hated Scottish garden gnome) at Daily Mail link aboveA former teacher drowned in just over a foot of water after she was pinned down by a fallen garden statue.
Ann Newton had gone into the garden in her slippers to feed the birds when she tripped and fell into the shallow pond, an inquest heard.
The 58-year-old's blouse became hooked on an ornamental wooden carved tree trunk as she filled a bird feeder.
The wooden post then toppled, fell on top of her and dragged her under the 18inches of water

Mr Lunn, 75, said: 'It's such a bizarre death, it has broken my heart.'
He said: 'Nobody liked the ornament, people kept telling me to get rid of it. If I had done she might have got out of the water.'
