Man killed by tiger at Yorkshire Wildlife Park; family condemns online content and Trump posts video

Unbiased summary

William Chapman, 23, died after entering the tiger enclosure at Yorkshire Wildlife Park near Doncaster on Saturday. He suffered from significant mental illness and was prescribed strong medication, according to his family. An inquest will open on Thursday and a health and safety investigation is under way. Footage of the attack circulated online, including a post by US President Donald Trump to his Truth Social platform on Tuesday; Trump later shared an AI-generated video of himself wrestling a tiger. Chapman's family said the circulation of such content caused them severe distress. Pope Leo XIV was diagnosed with lung adenocarcinoma after a 90-minute surgery to remove a lobe of his right lung on Tuesday at Rome's Gemelli Hospital. His doctors said recovery was progressing normally, and King Charles was among those sending well wishes.
