The young man miraculously survived the claws of the deadly beast in the Santiago Zoo where the lions are kept.
The director of the zoo, Alejandra Montalva said she believed the young man had entered the zoo premises as a visitor and may have paid for his ticket. She further said she was deeply affected by the deaths of the two lions, a male and a female. She also said at the time of the attack, she said there were no fast acting tranquilizers available to stop the lions from mauling the man and that why she took the decision on the lions to be shot.
A witness said that the young man trespassed into an area where the public are not allowed and forced the roof of the lion’s enclosure.
The witness said it was from there that the young man jumped into the lions den, took off his clothes and started to attract the lions.
Another witness said that the security personnel at the zoo were too slow to react and that the animals did not immediately attack the man as soon as he entered. The witness further said when the man first entered, the lions first started to play with him, and then after they attacked him and the young man was shouting Jesus.
The authorities later claim they found a suicide note inside the young man's clothes. In the note found in his pocket the young man made allusions to the apocalypse as being a reason for his attempt to taking his own life.
