Yorkshire Wildlife Park remains closed for a third day as investigations continue into the death of a man who was attacked by a tiger when he entered its enclosure.

The park near Doncaster was closed over the weekend after reports of a man climbing down into the enclosure from a walkway on Saturday afternoon.

An eyewitness described seeing the man wearing headphones and "pacing around" near the enclosure before he went in and was attacked.

A park spokesperson said: "Due to the events over the weekend, the park will remain closed today. Thank you for your understanding."

South Yorkshire Police said the man died at the scene and his family were being supported by officers. "Our thoughts are with them at this distressing time," the force said.
