As per a Karachi Metropolitan Corporation (KMC) official, the animal died of ‘natural causes, while some reports claim that the tiger was sick for the past 20 days, and was neglected by the staff for three days leading up to its unfortunate demise.

Taking note of the matter, KMC Administrator Dr. Saifur Rehman directed authorities to submit a report on the causes and circumstances surrounding the big cat’s death.
