William George Carey, 51, died on July 11, 2025, when the motorbike he was riding collided with a car on the B5307 from Finglandrigg to Kirkbampton. Mr Carey, of Church Road, Kirkbride, was an advanced practitioner of histology by occupation and worked at the Cumberland Infirmary. Ms Taylor told the court: "Mr Carey has been involved in a road traffic collision, and accordingly his death cannot be regarded as a natural cause of death." Ms Taylor set a provisional date for a final inquest hearing of November 20, 2025, provided that all enquiries have been completed. "We would like to express our sincere thanks to everyone who helped him at the time of the accident."
