A FARMER'S son died from a gunshot wound to the head after an incident in Ainsworth.

The body of Mr Carl Shepherd (41) was discovered on Sunday evening (July 8) in a bedroom at the family home at Plane Tree Farm, off Bradley Fold Road.

The incident is believed to have occurred following a domestic argument.

Police who were called to the farm have ruled out any third party involvement in the tragedy. An inquest is expected to be opened this week.
