A 21-year-old man has been found dead inside the tiger den at the Copenhagen Zoo with throat wounds, police said today.
His body was found by a zoo keeper surrounded by three tigers.
It was unclear how or why the man, a foreigner but who holds a Danish residence permit, entered the pit, but police said investigators could not rule out suicide.
His name and nationality were not immediately released.
