Yorkshire Wildlife Park near Doncaster reopened on Friday, days after a man was killed by a tiger in an enclosure on Saturday, Sky News and the BBC report. The BBC identifies the man as William Chapman, 24, and says an inquest heard of his history of mental illness. The park said the decision followed engagement with the relevant authorities and that the tiger, Altai, is safe and will not be euthanised. City of Doncaster Council, which licenses the park, is carrying out a health and safety investigation. The New York Post reports that visitors packed the tiger enclosure after it reopened.
