William Morris Jones, a retired soil, went on a routine walk around his native Criccieth, Noord -Wales, on the afternoon of December 28, 2024.

An investigation into his death on December 29 was opened this week in Caernarfon, Noord -Wales.
Assistant -Schouwer Sarah Riley said: 'He was found in a field that was extremely soggy and water clear.
“It seems that he got stuck in mud while crossing the field.
“The route was one that he would take normally, but the circumstances at that time were extremely difficult to pass.”
An autopsy performed by a pathologist mentioned preliminary causes of the death of Mr Jones as bronchopneumonia and hypothermia.
Mrs. Riley postponed the investigation into death until further investigation has been completed.
