A young woman tragically lost her life at Koh Yao Elephant Care sanctuary in Thailand during a bathing session with an Asian elephant. The victim, a 22-year-old Spanish citizen named Blanca Ojanguren, was visiting the sanctuary with her boyfriend when the incident occurred. Reports indicate that a 50-year-old elephant pushed Ojanguren with its trunk during the bathing session, resulting in a fatal blow.
Despite being rushed to a local hospital, Ojanguren succumbed to her injuries, leading to the temporary closure of the sanctuary. The circumstances leading up to the attack remain unclear, although experts suggest that the elephant may have been stressed due to interactions with tourists outside its natural habitat.
