A verdict of accidental death has been recorded at the inquest of Dorset sailor Andrew Simpson, who died during training for the America's Cup a year ago.

The Olympic gold medallist became trapped under the hull of his catamaran off San Francisco.

The inquest is taking place into the death of Olympic gold medallist Andrew Simpson from Dorset.
