NAPLES, Fla. — The family of River Rosenquist, the man who had his arm mauled by a tiger at the Naples Zoo, has released a statement regarding the incident.
Rosenquist was hospitalized after he jumped a barrier at the Naples Zoo and stuck his arm into the tiger enclosure, prompting Eko, the 8-year-old rare Malayan tiger, to latch onto him. Eko died after being shot by a Collier County deputy in an effort to get the tiger to let go of Rosenquist.
Rosenquist’s family released a statement to ABC News regarding the incident.
“In the wake of this tragic event, the Rosenquist family retained Attorneys Rita Jackman and Diana Castrillon with Powell, Jackman, Stevens & Ricciardi, P.A., to assist with navigating through the uncertainties they have been facing over the past several weeks.
At this time there is an ongoing investigation upon which we cannot comment. River Rosenquist does remain hospitalized currently in stable condition. River and his family relay their most heartfelt thanks to everyone involved in saving his life from the police officers and first responders, to the doctors, nurses, and medical personnel.
Miraculously, and contrary to some media coverage and investigative reports, the incredibly talented medical team at Lee Memorial Hospital were successful in avoiding amputation to River’s severely damaged arm. While River’s recovery is unknown, the family remains steadfast in their faith for his future improvement on the long road ahead.
River’s mental health and recovery continue to be our primary focus and we remain thankful for the respect and privacy everyone has allowed the family to have during this difficult process.”

The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission released the full report on the incident on Wednesday. In the report, officers noted that a nurse told investigators that she smelled alcohol on Rosenquist when he was being treated.
Rosenquist refused to speak to deputies following the attack and referred them to his attorney.
Rosenquist had been hired to clean the gift shop and bathrooms at the Naples Zoo and crossed into an area that he was not authorized to be in, zoo officials said.
