The victim, identified as Katherine Chappell, was taking photos from the passenger seat of an SUV with the windows fully down, which is against park policy. A lion jumped through the open window and mauled her, resulting in severe injuries.Despite efforts from a tour guide who tried to rescue her, Chappell succumbed to her injuries shortly after the attack. Witnesses reported that she was photographing the lion right up until the moment it struck. The park’s assistant operations manager stated that both front windows were down during the incident, which contributed to the attack.Following the incident, the park remained open for business, and authorities confirmed that the lion involved would not be euthanized. Investigations are ongoing, and park officials are emphasizing the importance of adhering to safety guidelines while observing wildlife.
