1. 2017-11-27: mahout Somsak Riangngeon fatal attack by Riangngeon Ekasit. Just after the owner, Somsak Riengngen, unchained the five-tonne elephant, called Ekasit, with a mahout, or handler, on his back, Ekasit took a few steps before reversing course and attacking 54-year-old Somsak, who was on the ground. The elephant suddenly turned back and used his trunk to grab the victim. Then the elephant used his trunk to crush him. † Somsak Riangngeon Died 2017-11-27, Chiang Mai Zoo, Chiang Mai.

An elephant that has starred in feature films and commercials has crushed its owner to death in Thailand, zoo officials say, setting off fresh debate over the kingdom’s animal tourism industry. The accident took place on Monday morning in the northern city of Chiang Mai, just after the owner, Somsak Riengngen, unchained the five-tonne elephant, called Ekasit.
