(00:30)What caused these timid beasts to savage a human being?
Killed By Coyotes explores the tragic story of a talented young folk singer, Taylor Mitchell, who was killed by coyotes as she hiked alone in a Canadian national park.
It's the first fatal coyote attack on an adult human ever recorded, and it shocked not only the surrounding community but coyote experts as well.
