Blanca Ojanguren García, a 22-year-old law and international relations student, died in a tragic accident during an elephant bathing activity in Thailand. The tragedy occurred at the Koh Yao Elephant Care Centre.

A Spanish woman was gored to death by an elephant while bathing the animal at a sanctuary in southern Thailand on Friday, according to local police.

In 2017, an elephant camp owner and a mahout were charged with recklessness causing death and injuries after an elephant killed a Chinese tour guide and injured two tourists in the Thai beach town, Pattaya. In 2013, a 27-year-old elephant had its tusks cut after it attacked and killed a woman.
