Calgary Zoo officials confirmed on Wednesday that the recent death of a two-year-old gorilla last week was an accident resulting from human error.

The Calgary Zoo says its two-year-old western lowland gorilla named Eyare died after being hit by a hydraulic door at the rear of the exhibit.

The caretaker who was responsible for the death was immediately removed from the workplace and must complete additional training before they can work with animals again, the zoo said.

A Calgary Zoo staff member mistakenly activated a door that struck the western lowland gorilla named Eyare, a report found.
