DENVER — The family of a woman who was fatally mauled by a jaguar in an unlocked Denver Zoo enclosure said they still haven’t been given answers or information about her death.

Ashlee Pfaff, 27, was attacked by a 140-pound jaguar and died from her injuries on Feb. 24. The jaguar was shot and then had a jugular vein cut in order to euthanize it.

An autopsy determined that Pfaff died of a broken neck and had extensive internal injuries.

The jaguar was able to reach Pfaff though an exhibit door that had been left unlocked and a Denver police investigation was not able to determine why it was left unlocked or who was responsible.

The Pfaff family released a statement to the media Thursday evening, complaining that they still haven’t been told basic facts surrounding the death of Ashlee Pfaff.
