The tiger zoo at Yorkshire Wildlife Park Resort is set to reopen its gates to the public tomorrow after a visitor was mauled to death last weekend.
William Chapman, 24, died on Saturday after climbing into a big cat’s enclosure at Yorkshire Wildlife Park near Doncaster, where he was attacked by a 200kg Siberian tiger named Altai.
The former child star, who was classed as vulnerable with a history of ‘significant’ mental health problems, had been dancing to music on his headphones and pacing along a walkway immediately before he hopped into the enclosure.
The park has remained closed since but is set to reopen
