BALI, INDONESIA — An elephant handler on the Indonesian holiday island of Bali, was horribly killed on April 28 when the animal he had planned to feed, snapped. <br /> <br />The deceased is Balinese man I Nyoman Levi, the owner of an elephant tour and rafting concern. <br /> <br />According to eyewitnesses, Levi and two other handlers went to the elephant cage around noon to feed the animals. As Levi began the feeding, a bull elephant named Lampung attacked. Other handlers watched as Lampung wrapped its trunk around Levi, lifted him up, then smashed him into the ground with brutal force. Levi lost consciousness. <br /> <br />The other handlers swiftly delivered a smashed Levi to the hospital, but his injuries were too severe. Levi died shortly after arriving. <br /> <br />A post-mortem exam, revealed nasty gashes on his head and the right side of his chest, according to the Bali Post. <br /> <br />Police, stating the obvious, have recorded Levi’s death as a workplace accident. One of the hazards of working with unrestrained giant animals, unfortunately. Rest in peace, Levi.
