Last moments of the man who was mauled to death by a tiger after entering its enclosure, see details

A man has died after entering a tiger enclosure at Yorkshire Wildlife Park in England.

It happened on Saturday, 10 October 2026, at about 1:30pm, according to reports.

The man, named in reports as William Chapman, was in his mid-20s and visiting the park alone.

Reports say he climbed into the enclosure of an Amur tiger named Altai.

Onlookers reportedly shouted warnings, and staff used sonic deterrents to try to stop the incident.

The tiger was not harmed and has not been put down, according to the reports.

The park has closed while the police and Doncaster Council investigate.

The Daily Express shared video clips from the incident on X, and they have been viewed more than 650,000 times.

This article does not describe the footage, and readers are advised not to share it.

Zoos and wildlife parks warn visitors never to enter enclosures or climb barriers.

Big cats are powerful predators, even when they have been raised in captivity.

The park has not been quoted in the information available, beyond confirming that it is closed.

Investigators are expected to establish exactly how the visitor got into the enclosure.

The outcome of the investigation, and when the park reopens, are the next developments to watch.
