Man, 24, who was scared of dogs drowned after diving through hedge and into lake as he fled from bull terrier

A man with a fear of dogs drowned after he fled in terror from a Staffordshire Bull Terrier - straight into a lake.

Mohammed Faisal, 24, died after he jumped head-first into a bush which stood next to the lake, a former brick pit, Peterborough Coroner’s Court heard yesterday.

The inquest heard that the dog's owner Ritchie Frost did his best to assist Mr Faisal, who could not swim, but that he died after the lake plunge on September 28, 2011.
