The family of 23-year-old William Chapman, who died after entering a tiger enclosure at Yorkshire Wildlife Park, have described him as a 'bright, warm and engaging' young man. Chapman was fatally attacked on Saturday, prompting the evacuation and closure of the park. His family revealed that he had experienced significant mental health difficulties over several years and had been prescribed medication, although the circumstances surrounding his actions remain unclear. An inquest will investigate his death, while the local council has launched a separate health and safety investigation. Relatives have expressed devastation at their loss and appealed for privacy, particularly after distressing footage of the incident circulated widely on social media. Local political leaders have urged people to stop sharing the images and avoid speculation while investigations continue. Chapman, a former child actor, was remembered fondly by his performing arts school. Wildlife park officials have expressed their condolences and confirmed that the Amur tiger involved will not be euthanised. See
