King Charles' Friend Ian Farquhar Dies in Tragic Accident

Ian Farquhar, a former equerry and renowned huntsman, passed away after becoming trapped between his bed and wall, with alcohol contributing to the incident.

Ian Farquhar, 78, a close friend of King Charles and former equerry to Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother, died in his home near Chippenham, Wiltshire.
The inquest revealed that Farquhar had a blood alcohol level 4.5 times over the drink-drive limit at the time of his death.
Farquhar was found by his care worker, trapped between his bed and a wall, with postural asphyxia and alcohol toxicity cited as causes of death.
Farquhar, known for his love of horses and hunting, served as Master of the Beaufort Hunt for 34 years and was a regular at Highgrove, King Charles' residence.
His daughter, Victoria, noted that her father's drinking problem began during his hunting years, despite attempts to quit following medical advice.
