Story summary

On October 10, 2026, a man named William Chapman, 24, entered the tiger enclosure at Yorkshire Wildlife Park near Doncaster and was killed by one of the park's Amur tigers named Altai. Emergency services responded to the scene but were unable to save Chapman, who had climbed into the enclosure despite clear warnings and safety measures. The wildlife park closed immediately after the incident and remained shut until October 16, when it reopened to visitors. Zookeepers confirmed that Altai was "safe and well" and would not be euthanized. The coroner revealed that Chapman had a diagnosis of schizophrenia and his family expressed concerns over his treatment by mental health services prior to the incident.
