Game of Thrones Editor Killed by Lion in South Africa
Boing Boing reported that the American tourist who was killed by lions over the weekend actually worked on Game of Thrones
The tourist who was mauled by a lioness at a South African safari park was 29-year-old Katherine Chappell, an American who worked as a special effects editor on Game of Thrones. She was snapping photos from her car with her window down and was unaware that a lion was approaching. Other cars honked, trying to warn her, but the lion attacked before she was able to react. Chappell was in South Africa on an anti-poaching mission.
