The employee of the Chisinau Zoological Garden who was bitten by a tiger at the end of January died in the hospital, IPN reports.

Dorina Arsene, spokeswoman for the Emergency Medicine Institute, said the man was admitted to an intensive care unit and was then transferred to the neurology unit as he suffered a stroke and was confined to bed.

On January 31, an employee of the Chisinau Zoo was attacked by a tiger while he was in the animals’ cage. He went there to feed the tiger and presumably tried to take a bone from him.  He suffered multiple injuries, including a neck wound. He was operated and was then on mechanical ventilation.
