William Chapman, a former child actor who appeared in ITV\u2019s May Contain Nuts and the BBC series True Stories, died at 24 on October 10 after entering the enclosure of a five-year-old Amur tiger named Altai at Yorkshire Wildlife Park in Doncaster, England. An inquest heard that he climbed two fences before the fatal encounter, with a post-mortem examination identifying multiple traumatic injuries. His family revealed that Chapman had schizophrenia and a history of psychosis, raising concerns about the mental health care he received before his death, prompting an independent NHS investigation. The tiger will not be euthanized and was reported to be safe and well. The wildlife park remains closed as police, the council and the coroner continue investigating, with the full inquest scheduled for March 18, 2027\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
