A suspected poacher was killed by an elephant and his remains were then eaten by a pride of lions in a South African national park, officials said on Friday. The man’s family sought the help of authorities last week after the man’s accomplices informed them of his death, South African National Parks said in a statement. The man’s family beseeched authorities to help recover his body, which had been left in the park. South Africa National Parks said rangers, both on foot and in helicopters, scoured the park and managed to locate the man’s remains on Thursday. Glenn Phillips, Kruger National Park’s managing executive, said the man’s death illustrated the “many dangers” of entering the park illegally.
