Suicide By Tiger
A crazy man tried to commit suicide at the Bronx Zoo by jumping off the monorail into the Tiger Pit. The tiger mauled him pretty good, but the man managed to survive.
From CBS here:
A 25-year-old man suffered multiple injuries Friday after he intentionally jumped into the tiger’s den at the Bronx Zoo.
The victim, identified as David Villalobos of Putnam County, suffered puncture wounds to his back and sustained a broken ankle and broken arm in the incident.
Villalobos was rushed to Jacobi Hospital in critical condition after facing off with a roughly 400-pound Siberian tiger named “Bashuta” for about 10 minutes, 1010 WINS’ Sonia Rincon reported.
The incident happened around 3:45 p.m. while Villalobos was riding the monorail. The man may have had a mental illness and that he was screaming “I want to die!” when he jumped off the monorail.
Life already sucked enough for Villalobos to attempt suicide. Now he has the same shitty life but has the bonus of debilitating tiger wounds. Life’s never so bad that it can’t get worse.
