Inquest gives cause of death for former child actor mauled by a tiger at Yorkshire Wildlife Park

William Chapman, 23, was mauled to death inside a tiger enclosure at Yorkshire Wildlife Park near Doncaster on Saturday, with an inquest now recording the official cause of death. His family said he had lived with significant mental illness for many years. Trump's decision to share footage of Chapman's final moments on Truth Social — against the family's pleas — caused them "severe distress".

Trump then posted AI-generated videos of himself wrestling the tiger, compounding the family's anguish.

Mary Trump told LBC her uncle showed "complete disregard" for the family, calling his actions "unspeakable."

Details of how Chapman reportedly gained access to the enclosure have emerged, raising urgent questions about site security.
