"At no point during the incident did any animals escape their enclosures, and at no point was public safety affected in any way," the zoo said in a statement that made no mention of a tiger.
The statement said staff were too distressed to speak to reporters.
"A tiger had entered an enclosure with a keeper. Sadly the female zoo keeper died at the scene," police said, according to the BBC.
