RIP Taylor Mitchell


Canadian folk singer Taylor Mitchell was killed this week by a group of coyotes.

The young girl was hiking alone on a trail in Cape Breton Highlands National Park this week when she was confronted by two coyotes. Several other hikers in the area heard her screams and cries for help and immediately called 911. When help arrived, she was airlifted to a hospital, but at that point she was already in critical condition.

A few days before her death Mitchell was nominated for a Canadian Folk Music Award for Young Performer of the Year.

Sad news.

this is tragic and strange; I didn't think coyotes ever attacked people - they are supposed to be scavengers
