A Canadian man killed Wednesday in South Africa at a wildlife park is described by a close friend as the victim of an apparent accident, not the person who initiated questions about a firearm. Kelvin Choi told The Canadian Press that the man who died was not the one who had asked a hunting guide about his gun. Choi said he is “devastated” by the death of his “good friend.”
The reporting centers on competing descriptions of how the shooting occurred. According to Choi, the friend’s account conflicts with a version of events that attributes the gun-related question to the man who was later killed. Both outlets frame the incident as an apparent accident at the wildlife park, while acknowledging that details are still contested and being clarified.
At this stage, the information provided by the friend focuses on correcting what he says is a misunderstanding about who asked about the firearm. No additional confirmed findings beyond the friend’s account are included in the excerpts provided.
