A health and safety investigation has been launched into the death of a man who was killed by a tiger after he entered its enclosure.

Yorkshire Wildlife Park was closed over the weekend following 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. South Yorkshire Police confirmed he was visiting the park on his own.

"I can confirm that, in line with our statutory duties, the council has launched a health and safety investigation," a City of Doncaster Council spokesperson said.
