animal keeper killed during a tiger attack died from a neck injury, and now the tiger she cared for is facing death threats, according to new details of the investigation disclosed Wednesday.
Stacey Konwiser, 37, was killed Friday by an endangered Malayan tiger — one of four she worked with during her three years at the zoo in West Palm Beach.
Palm Beach County Medical Examiner Michael Bell on Wednesday confirmed that Konwiser died from a neck injury. He wouldn't say whether Konwiser had been bitten or injured in another way by the tiger.
Bell said more details about the extent of Konwiser's injuries would be disclosed in the autopsy report, which has not yet been released.
