Bengal tiger Mauls trainer to death in front of audience watching circus in Mexico

This picture is believed to show the trainer Alexander Crispin 'Suarez', who was killed by a tiger during a performance of Circus Suarez in the city of Hermosillo, Mexico

Circuses are to provide pleasure to the audience by circus men , which sometimes may turn out to be deadly.

And this exactly what happened when 35 years old American circus entertainer Alexander Crispin was performing with two Bengal tigers inside the caged ring at Circo Suarez in Sonora state, Mexico.

Furing the performance, one of the beasts lunged forward and pulled him down and started to maul him. Although assistants came in and tried to scare away the animal, it was too late as the American performer, bitten severly in his neck died in the hospital.

A footage posted on YouTube purportedly shows the trainer, American Alexander Crispin circling two tigers during his act for Circo Suarez in Sonora state. The video shows spectators fleeing the circus tent as two workers beat the tiger to free Mr Crispin, who was pinned to the ground.
