In South Carolina, 52-year-old Eric Slate died after a head-on collision with a kangaroo. This was reported by The Guardian.
The incident occurred at a zoo intended for children. According to local investigators, at the time of the incident, Eric Slate entered the kangaroo's territory and got into a physical altercation with the animal. According to officials, the man was taken to the hospital with various injuries, but he could not fight for his life and died on Friday night.
Tamara Willard, who is conducting the investigation, said that the body of the deceased had multiple injuries caused by force. At the moment, special examinations are planned at the park.
According to information, Eric Slate is the brother of the owner of the zoo, Robert Slate, who often visited the enclosure where kangaroos and wallabies are kept and was known for joking with the kangaroo nicknamed "Jack".
On May 12, Robert Slate posted a photo of his brother on his Facebook page, writing, “You will always be in our memories, we will never forget your voice. Everything will be fine with your friend Jack.”
Zoo officials said the kangaroo has not left its enclosure and is being kept under special supervision. However, the tragedy once again highlights the need to pay attention to the boundaries between animals and people and precautions.
