- The paper discusses a rare case of a fatal tiger attack where a woman was killed by the tiger's claws instead of the typical bite to the neck.
- An autopsy revealed multiple injuries from the claws, while the usual bite-related injuries were absent due to the tiger's teeth being non-functional.
- This report aims to draw attention to claw-induced fatal injuries, which are not commonly documented, and emphasizes the significance of claw injuries in distinguishing the nature of attacks by tigers.
Fatalities due to attacks by tigers on humans are uncommon and are rarely described in the medico-legal literature. We herein present a forensic investigation in a unique case of a fatal tiger attack in the wild on a 35 year old female in India by an Indian Bengal tiger (Panthera tigris tigris). The attack resulted in two pairs of puncture wounds over the nape area with occult cervical spine injuries resulting from transfixing of spine due to the tiger canines; multiple puncture wounds, numerous scratches and abrasions consistent with the tiger claw injuries and injury to the right jugulocarotid vessels.
