Katherine Chappell, a 29 year-old visual effects editor on Game of Thrones, was killed by a lion in a South African wildlife park.
Chappell was in a car taking photos of lions through an open window when she was attacked. Chappell had created a GoFundMe.com campaign to help raise money for animal conservation in South Africa. The New York Post has more:
“I will be assisting rangers in tracking and monitoring animals, setting up camera traps, participating in poaching prevention techniques, providing support and assistance to veternarians [sic], and be involved in game capture and relocation,’’ Chappell wrote in the description of her fundraiser.
