Three Siberian tigers kill man at Copenhagen Zoo

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siberian_tiger

A man died this week, after suffering a tiger bite to the throat at a zoo in Copenhagen. The 21-year-old was discovered dead by a zookeeper. Police believe he climbed a low wall surrounding the den which contained three Siberian Tigers and entered a moat when inside the enclosure.  Lars Borg, a spokesman for the Copenhagen police, said investigators could not rule out suicide. "He has been in the water and the animals must have seen that and attacked him," Mr Borg said. Police have not released the man's identity but said he was a foreign national (possibly from Afghanistan) with a Danish residence permit. Below is a link to a Reuters video about the attack:
