Folk Singer Taylor Mitchell Killed by Coyotes in Canada Park

Taylor Mitchell, an up-and-coming Canadian folk singer, was killed by coyotes in a Nova Scotia national park this week. Cape Breton Highlands National Park spokesman says Mitchell, 19, was attacked by several coyotes Tuesday afternoon at the beginning of the Skyline Trail.

Hikers witnessed the attack and called 911. Mitchell was airlifted to a Halifax hospital where she died about 12 hours later.

One coyote involved was shot and killed. The park is being searched for other aggressive animals.

Chip Bird, the Parks Canada field unit superintendent, says the attack was “unprecedented and a totally isolated incident.”

“Words can't begin to express the sadness and tragedy of losing such a sweet, compassionate, vibrant, and phenomenally talented young woman. Her warmth, loving nature, astounding artistry, and infectious enthusiasm will be so missed and forever remembered," Mitchell's manager Lisa Weitz wrote in an e-mail.

Mitchell, who was recently nominated for Young Performer of the Year by the Canadian Folk Music Awards, had released a debut album called For Your Consideration.
