Some sad and shocking news have been reported and shared around social media as Eric Cowie, one of the head zookeepers from the famous Netflix documentary show, ‘Tiger King,’ was found dead at his New York City residence this past weekend.

Eric was known for his role in the Tiger King series, and was in the headlines for testifying in a trial against Joe Exotic for violating federal guidelines for protected wild animals.
