The incident, marked by Chapman's apparent mental health crisis and taunting of the animal, gained further notoriety when Donald Trump shared both the raw footage and a bizarre AI-altered clip of himself befriending the tiger.
President Trump has posted a bizarre AI-altered clip of the man
who was horrifyingly mauled to
death by a tiger at a UK zoo after jumping into its enclosure.
In the video posted to
Trump's Truth Social account, an AI-generated Trump chases,
tackles, and befriends the Siberian
tiger as the tune The Lion Sleeps Tonight
from The Lion King plays in the background.
Hours earlier, Trump posted the raw,
gruesome footage of the attack while warning his Truth
social followers don't ever mess with nature.
In the days following the harrowing incident,
the victim, 23-year-old William Chapman,
has been identified as a former child actor,
and even starred alongside a Harry Potter actress.
A young Chapman can be seen in
uncovered footage starring
in the British show May Contain Nuts alongside Shirley Henderson,
known for her role as Moaning Myrtle in the Harry Potter franchise.
the newly resurfaced clips come
just days after Chapman was mauled
to death by a tiger after
jumping into its enclosure and taunted the big cat to come
and kill him according to harrowing
eyewitness accounts several people had noticed Chapman described
by family as having suffered
from significant mental illness
as he walked around Yorkshire Wildlife Park on Saturday October
10th. He was pacing around with his headphones in and happily dancing,
witnesses said, with one
even catching audio of him asking her to take
a photo of him with the Siberian tiger behind him.
Shortly after, as Chapman started climbing the fence,
a woman close to him tried to stop him,
but wasn't strong enough to hold him back,
witness Anthony Hunt told The Telegraph.
Eerie footage purporting to be filmed
by Chapman himself inside the enclosure
then shows Altai, the Siberian tiger that mauled him to death,
lying atop a wooden platform.
The young man then got down on his knees
in front of the tiger as if he was praying and
bowing down to the 420-pound animal before he started taunting it,
Hunt told The Times of London.
He had his arms wide open like he was saying,
come here, tiger, kill me, the horrified onlooker recalled.
Further shocking footage shows Chapman yelling
no and stop repeatedly at Altai
as the fully grown tiger lunged at him
in front of horrified families and children.
According to witnesses,
the tiger eventually grabbed a hold of Chapman's neck
and began to drag him in a bloody scene.
Park workers fired two warning shots into the air
with a shotgun to scare off Altai and try to reach Chapman.
Paramedics were scrambled to the zoo just after 1.30 p.m. local time,
but Chapman was pronounced dead at the scene,
with staff working quickly to evacuate the park.
Yorkshire Wildlife Park remained closed the following day.
Park authorities revealed on Monday that Altai was safe and well
and confirmed he would not be euthanized following the attack.
