The coroner said that Mr. Leonard apparently did not see the bull because of a heavy ground fog.  According to the coroner, the bull apparently trampled Mr. Leonard to death, and then rolled the body 50 or 60 years against a log.  Members of the Leonard family discovered the body after the cattle had returned without Mr. Leonard accompanying them.
