Multiple outlets report that a 17-year-old is killed in a zoo after a tiger attacks people in an enclosure. One report says the teen, identified as Carlos Sousa Jr., intervenes by distracting the tiger as it mauled one of his friends. Another outlet describes his death in similar terms, characterizing his final actions as an attempt to protect others during the incident. Both accounts emphasize the same sequence: a tiger attack occurs at the zoo, a friend is attacked, and the teen’s effort to draw the tiger away precedes his own death. The reports focus on the victim’s age, identification, and the circumstances described by witnesses or investigators, presenting the incident as a fatal event during an ongoing zoo visit. The sources do not provide additional corroborating details in the supplied text, such as the exact location of the zoo, the time of day, or whether officials have released findings about safety measures. The incident is described in distressing terms, with both outlets treating the teen’s actions as the key element of what happened immediately before his death.
