Park. S S Sharma, Chief Wildlife Warden, said that the exact cause of the death
of tigress could be ascertained only after the post mortem. "The death was reported
yesterday and we cannot ascertain the exact cause of death until the post mortem
is conducted. I think it died three days back and it was reported yesterday. The
tigress must have been around 10 to 11 years old," said Sharma. On December 13,
an eight-year-old male tiger was found dead in Dhikala range of the sanctuary.
