A 21-year-old Afghan born man was found dead on Wednesday inside a tiger den at the Copenhagen Zoo after having received a fatal bite to his throat, officials said Wednesday.
He was found dead, surrounded by three Siberian tigers when the zoo staff arrived for work.
It is unknown unclear why the man entered the tiger area, but police have not ruled out suicide.
According to the Danish newspaper Ekstrabladet, the young man lived alone in a flat near his family in central Copenhagen and was just about to finish high school.
