Chinese gardener mauled to death by tigers
15th October 2010
“I saw him holding onto the top of the glass barrier with one hand, and trying to grasp something with the other,” one unnamed tiger keeper at the zoo told the Southern Metropolis newspaper. He added that he saw “four or five” tigers rushing towards Mr Sheng and quickly ran to the pen to try to save him.
By the time he reached the spot, however, Mr Sheng had already lost his grip and fallen into the tiger pack. “He sustained a lethal injury to his neck,” said the tiger keeper.
