William Chapman died after entering the tiger enclosure at the park near Doncaster on Saturday, 10 October. Donald Trump reposted footage of the incident on Truth Social on Tuesday evening, when Chapman's relatives also issued their appeal, although their statement did not name the president or any individual account.
