报道称，英国泰晤士河谷警方通报称，事故发生于当晚19时左右。该士兵在表演结束后离开竞技场时坠马，虽经现场紧急救治，仍因伤势过重不幸身亡。警方表示，此案目前被列为“死因尚待查明，但无可疑情况”。警方正与英国国防部及皇家温莎马术展主办方合作收集相关信息，以进一步查明事故原因，并呼吁知情人士提供线索。

The unidentified soldier fell after leaving the arena following the display, and despite being treated, their injuries were serious, and they died at the scene, the Thames Valley Police said in a release.

On Saturday morning, the police appealed to the public for any information about the "unexplained but non-suspicious death" of the soldier.

事发时，英国国王查尔斯三世及其他王室成员正在现场观看表演。白金汉宫发言人表示，国王在获悉消息后“深感震惊和悲痛”，并将亲自向死者家属致以慰问。发言人称：“尽管国王及其他王室成员事发时身处竞技场内，但直到事后才得知事件的严重性。”

"While His Majesty and other members of the royal family were present at the arena at the time the incident took place, they were not made aware of the severity of the situation until later," a Buckingham Palace spokesperson said, according to the London Times.

The spokesperson added, "The King was greatly shocked and saddened to have learned subsequently of the troop member's death and will be in touch with the family to share his personal condolences."
