Trump publishes AI video showing himself playing with tiger after fatal attack in England

The montage shows the Republican fighting a tiger and then hugging the animal to the sound of the song “The Lion Sleeps Tonight”. Trump points to the tiger in a similar way to the way the victim does in real images of the fatal attack that took place last Saturday (10).

The publications were criticized on social media for disrespecting the victim and her family. Relatives of Chapman, who had a history of serious mental illness, have called on people to stop sharing images of the attack.

William Chapman, 24, died after being attacked by a tiger while entering the animal's enclosure at Yorkshire Wildlife Park, a wildlife park near Doncaster, England. According to an opening hearing of the investigation into his death, held this Thursday (15), he suffered multiple traumatic injuries.

Chapman climbed two fences to enter the tiger's space on Saturday (10). Park employees contained the animal, but paramedics confirmed the young man's death at the scene.

According to the court, Chapman was diagnosed with schizophrenia and had a history of episodes of psychosis. He was receiving support from adult mental health services in Doncaster but was considered independent and did not require special care.

The family had expressed concerns about the care provided by the mental health service responsible for their care. The institution opened an investigation after the death, but said it could not comment on the case for confidentiality reasons.

The park was evacuated after the incident and remains closed, with no plans to reopen. The tiger involved, named Altai, was kept in its enclosure and will not be euthanized, according to the administration.

Doncaster City Council has also opened an investigation into safety conditions at the site. The death investigation was suspended and will resume on March 18, 2027.
