The family of William Chapman, who died after he was attacked by a tiger, have expressed concerns about his contact with mental health services before his death, an inquest has heard.
Mr Chapman was killed by the animal at Yorkshire Wildlife Park in Doncaster, South Yorkshire, on Saturday.
The 24-year-old's family said he had suffered from "significant mental illness over a number of years" and was "prescribed strong medication".
An inquest into the death, which opened at Doncaster Coroner's Court on Thursday, heard that Mr Chapman had previously been diagnosed with schizophrenia and had suffered bouts of psychosis.
He was under adult mental health services in Doncaster but was "highly functioning and independent with no care requirements", the inquest was told.
An initial post-mortem examination found that Mr Chapman, a self-employed online trader who was living in Doncaster, died from multiple traumatic injuries following his encounter with the tiger after entering the enclosure.
Coroner's officer Caitlin Brookes said he was "approached by the tiger and the ensuing physical contact between the tiger and Mr Chapman led to him sustaining multiple traumatic injuries which rapidly led to his death".
Ms Brookes said Rotherham, Doncaster and South Humber NHS Foundation Trust had launched an investigation following Mr Chapman's death, while City of Doncaster Council, which is responsible for licensing the park, said on Monday it had started a health and safety investigation.
A full inquest is set to be held in March next year.
In a previous statement on social media, the wildlife park said "many, many people" had contacted them about Altai, the Amur tiger involved in the incident, and it confirmed he is "safe and well" and will not be euthanised.
Mr Chapman's family had earlier this week said in a statement that they were hopeful authorities would "get to the bottom of why our amazing son did what he did", but added that "the publication and circulation of deeply offensive media content is causing severe distress at an exceptionally vulnerable time".
It comes after US President Donald Trump posted footage of Mr Chapman being fatally attacked by a tiger at the park to his 13 million followers on Truth Social, accompanied with the message: "Don't ever mess with nature!"
Mr Trump later followed this up with another post - this time an AI-generated video of him grappling with a tiger, which appears to mimic the original.
South Yorkshire Mayor Oliver Coppard condemned the president's actions, saying the Chapman family had contacted his office.
Mr Coppard said: "I know all decent people across South Yorkshire will be sending them their love, thoughts and empathy."
