That grown man was mentally challenged and his care taker wasn't nearby

If true (idk, just learn about this), that's just terrible.

Is there a source that he was mentally challenged? This is the first time I’m hearing about it.

I don't know why the other person commenting says "nothing is confirmed", there's a BBC article reporting he was suffering from schizophrenia

Senior coroner Nicola Mundy said he had a history of mental illness, a diagnosis of schizophrenia and had suffered previous bouts of psychosis.

I'm not sure if that fits the "mentally challenged". And the "caretaker" is bullshit, in the same article it explicitly says he did not have a caretaker as it was determined he does not need one (and apparently his family either tried to fight it or they say they tried to fight it)

Nothing is confirmed afaik but people noted in the videos he was using Makaton (a language used by people with learning disabilities) by pointing his pinky up which means "bad" towards the tiger.

However id argue that it doesn't matter if this man was disabled or not. If they jump into a tiger enclosure they are clearly not in their right mind.

And even if they were fully aware of their actions, why do people feel such a Schadenfreude about this? It's in any case sad that a human died here whatever thing lead him to these actions that lead to this result.

I don't think a carer could stop him, the guy was ripped.
