New York Post • • world
Key Points:
- Emergency responders from the Yorkshire Ambulance Trust accessed the medical records of William Chapman, a former child actor who was fatally mauled by a tiger at Yorkshire Wildlife Park, without a legitimate reason.
- The breach occurred shortly after Chapman, who had a history of schizophrenia and was under psychiatric care, scaled a fence and entered the tiger enclosure on October 10.
- The Information Commissioner’s Office was notified of the unauthorized access, and Chapman’s family has been informed as the ambulance trust launched an internal investigation.
- A full investigation into the data breach is expected to take place in March, amid ongoing concerns about NHS staff snooping on patient records.
- Chapman died at the scene from multiple traumatic injuries after interacting with a 420-pound Siberian tiger, with eyewitnesses describing his unusual behavior prior to the attack.
