Yorkshire Wildlife Park tiger attack kills former child actor

Yorkshire Wildlife Park William Chapman tiger attack Altai the tiger Doncaster

William Chapman, a 23-year-old former child actor, was fatally attacked by a Siberian tiger named Altai at Yorkshire Wildlife Park near Doncaster on Saturday, October 10, 2026. Witnesses reported that Chapman, who was visiting the park alone, had been seen dancing and wearing headphones before entering the tiger enclosure. Some visitors attempted to intervene or distract the animal, but Chapman was ultimately killed at the scene.

Chapman’s family has since released a statement revealing that he had been struggling with a significant mental illness for several years and was under strong medication. They have urged the public to respect their privacy and to stop sharing distressing videos of the attack that have circulated on social media.

Yorkshire Wildlife Park confirmed that the tiger, Altai, is in good health and will not be euthanized. The park was evacuated and closed for the remainder of the weekend following the incident. Doncaster City Council has launched a formal health and safety inquiry to determine how Chapman was able to access the enclosure.
