Sarah McClay, 24, from the Barrow area, was attacked by a tiger within its enclosure Friday afternoon, Cumbria police said. The woman was taken by air ambulance to Royal Preston Hospital after the attack at the South Lakes Wild Animal Park, but she did not survive.
McClay had suffered head and neck injuries, the BBC reported.
