Kate Chappell, ‘Game Of Thrones’ Editor, Mauled To Death By Lion In South Africa

Kate Chappell, a visual effects editor who had worked on Game of Thrones, was mauled to death by a lion while on vacation in South Africa.

Kate Chappell Killed By Lion

Chappell, 29, had traveled to South Africa to volunteer for two weeks on a wildlife preserve. Arriving a week early to sightsee, she visited the well known Lion Park. While being driven through the park in a safari vehicle, Chappell rolled down her window to take some pictures of a nearby lion. The lion reached through the window and dragged her out of the car, according to South African police.

Chappell died while paramedics attempted to save her life, reported USA Today.

In addition to her work on Game of Thrones, for which she won an Emmy with the rest of the editing team, Chappell lent her talents to the productions of Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Divergent, Godzilla and Noah.

“We are broken-hearted to share this news with our friends and family: Yesterday morning, while on a volunteer mission to protect wildlife in South Africa, Kate Chappell was involved in a tragic and fatal accident,” Chappell’s sister Jennifer Chappell wrote in a tribute on Facebook.

“Katie was a brilliant, kind, adventurous and high-spirited woman,” she added. “Her energy and passion could not be contained by mere continents or oceans. She was very much loved and shared her love for life with those she met.”
