Woman mauled to death by boyfriend's tiger
A 32 year-old woman was mauled to death by a tiger owned by her boyfriend in western Canada, authorities said tonight.
Regional coroner Bruce Chamberlayne said the woman was taken to a hospital after the attack on Thursday afternoon but could not be revived.
Chamberlayne did not release the woman’s name pending notification of family members.
Global TV reported the victim was the girlfriend of the tiger’s owner, Kim Carlton.
He said it was unclear what happened to the animal.
The property where the incident occurred, in British Columbia about 150 miles north-east of Vancouver, reportedly offers photos with the cats.
