Story summary

The Yorkshire Ambulance Trust, part of the National Health Service, is investigating two staff members who accessed the medical records of William Chapman, a 24-year-old former child actor, without a legitimate reason after he was fatally mauled by a tiger at the Yorkshire Wildlife Park on October 10. According to reports, Chapman's medical information was breached in two instances shortly after news of the incident emerged. The Information Commissioner’s Office was notified due to the severity of the data breach, and Chapman's family was informed about the ongoing investigation. A full probe is scheduled for March, with initial reports citing that Chapman had shared a video on Instagram walking up to Altai, a 420-pound Siberian tiger, before his death from multiple traumatic injuries caused by animal interaction. Chapman’s family has stated that he suffered from severe mental health issues.

Why this leaning score

This article does not take a side on a contested political question, so it has no leaning score. That is an answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political position.
