Siegfried & Roy

Roy died after the mauling by the tiger. He suffered a stroke. I suppose he had the stroke from the massive bloodloss. I guess this just goes to show you can only trust a wild animal to a certain extent.

That really sucks!
I saw their show in April 2000, and was hoping to get a chance to take my wife.

That really is sad.

Just checked the news...evrything sez he's still alive. Latest news is he is still critical but is able to communicate, acknowledge being spoken to, that kinda thing. Docs said will take 72 hours till they can determine if he will recover fully...

From AP Wire

Roy Horn, one half of the illusionist team Siegfried & Roy, was hospitalized in critical condition on a ventilator Sunday, a day after one of his tigers mauled him during their nightly show. MGM Mirage officials said Horn, who was bitten in the neck and dragged off stage, has been able to communicate with doctors. The performer underwent surgery late Friday and Saturday at University Medical Center. "There has been no change in his status, which quite frankly is good news," Mirage spokesman Alan Feldman said Sunday morning. "Considering the trauma he has been through, no change in his status is a good place to be. Horn, 59, was heavily sedated but able to respond to voices and touch, MGM Mirage Resort chief executive Bobby Baldwin said. "We are guarded, optimistic," Baldwin said late Saturday night outside the hospital. "We are pleased the news isn't worse than it is. Feldman said it might take another day or two before doctors have a prognosis."

Unhappy

Really, did he die.
Haven't heard about that yet.
Heard he was in critical condition.
If that's true, it is a really sad day for Holland.
