No police prosecution over death of human cannonball at Showground - HSE now investigating

No police prosecution over death of human cannonball Matt Cranch at Kent County Showground: No criminal charges will be brought after the death of a daredevil human cannonball, it has emerged.
Kent Police today confirmed there will not be a police prosecution over the tragedy at the Kent County Showground.
Stuntman Matt Cranch, 23, plunged to the ground after being fired 40ft from a cannon at the Detling venue in April 2011.
Mr Cranch, who performed the stunt for Scott May's Daredevil Stunt Show, suffered multiple injuries when a safety net collapsed.

Maidstone Borough Council, which launched an investigation at the time alongside the police and Health and Safety Executive, will now consider if there is a case under health and safety laws.
