WHAT killed Taylor Mitchell? Experts have new theory about how teen singer was mauled to death 13 yrs ago
NOVA SCOTIA, CANADA: An intriguing new theory has emerged about the coyotes that killed a budding Canadian singer-songwriter while she was out hiking in Nova Scotia 13 years ago. Taylor Mitchell, 19, was alone and hiking in a national park in 2009 when the animals attacked. When other walkers heard her cries, they called for help and arrived to find her bleeding profusely and covered with bite marks. Mitchell succumbed to her injuries in a hospital later, and the attack sparked unfounded theories about the coyotes' behavior and garnered international attention.
According to Daily Mail, researchers now claimed that the coyotes in Cape Breton Highlands National Park had adapted to scarce food supplies before this tragic incident. They developed hunting and killing skills after learning to prey on bigger creatures such as moose. Mitchell may have been a victim of this recently discovered trait, according to Stanley Gehrt, the primary author of an article that was recently published in the Journal of Applied Ecology.
