Man killed in tiger attack identified as William Chapman

Witnesses said Chapman, believed to be in his 20s, climbed down from a walkway and entered the enclosure. One said he had headphones on and was moving around nearby beforehand.

Ella Ford, who had filmed the tiger shortly before the attack, said she saw it seize Chapman as he called for help. Tributes have since been placed near the park entrance.

Doncaster Council has opened a health and safety investigation into the death. A Born Free Foundation spokesperson also called for an urgent review of how Chapman got into the enclosure and what followed.
