Was Siegfried & Roy Tiger Attack Actually Attempted Murder?! New Podcast Digs In...

This is wild! Most people will remember the tragic tiger attack that ended the careers of legendary stage duo Siegfried and Roy, who were known for their spellbinding illusions and use of exotic animals over their 40-year career.

In 2003, Roy Horn was critically injured after one of his and partner Siegfried Fischbacher’s white tigers attacked him during a show at The Mirage hotel-casino in Las Vegas, leaving him partially paralyzed and using a wheelchair.

Many brushed off the attack as a simple accident, because, well… tigers. But Apple TV’s new podcast The Wild Things is now investigating another theory: some believe the attack was intentionally provoked!

He shared: Crazy! And criminal — if true that would be attempted murder! During an appearance on the podcast, Michael Game — the detective with the Las Vegas Counter-Terrorism unit who was investigating the incident — went into detail about how officials wondered whether the tiger could have been responding to a scent sprayed into the air.
