US man killed by camel at Mexican wildlife park

MEXICO CITY (AP) — The American owner of a wildlife park in the Mexican resort of Tulum has died after being kicked, bit and sat on by a camel, and authorities have seized the private facility’s animals pending an investigation.

Rescuers had to use a rope tied to a pickup truck to pull the enraged camel off the body of Richard Mileski of Chicago, Illinois, according to Tulum Civil Defense official Alberto Canto. He said Mileski was 70 years old and the attack took place on Monday. Other sources said Mileski was 60.
