AKIPRESS.COM - Zookeeper at a Cambridgeshire animal park Rosa King, 33, was killed by a tiger, Guardian reported.

Officers said the zookeeper died at the scene. The tiger entered the enclosure King was working in, with zoo management describing it as a “freak accident”.

“At no time did the animal escape from the enclosure,” said a Cambridgeshire police station. “The incident is not believed to be suspicious.”

Visitors were evacuated from the zoo at Steeple Gidding, amid rumours that a tiger was on the loose. But a spokesman for the attraction told the Guardian the incident did not involve an escaped animal.

Police confirmed that was the case, adding that no members of the public were in danger. The air ambulance service also attended the incident, which happened at about 11.15am.
