Los Angeles: Katherine Chappell, a visual effects editor who worked on "Game of Thrones" and "Captain America: Winter Soldier", died in a lion attack during a safari in South Africa.
A female lion attacked Chappell's vehicle through her open window while she was reportedly photographing the animals in the park.
Johannesburg's Lion Park employed Scott Simpson told NBC News that park rules forbid visitors from rolling the windows down. Chappell's driver Pierre Potgieter was injured while trying to pull her away and claims he suffered a heart attack, reported Vulture.
The VFX editor also worked on "Godzilla" and "Into the Heart of the Sea". Chappell's sister Jennifer posted a tribute to her on her Facebook page.
"Katie was a brilliant, kind, adventurous and high-spirited woman. Her energy and passion could not be contained by mere continents or oceans. She was very much loved and shared her love for life with those she met."
