The authorities of the Yala National Park, located in Sri Lanka, reported through a statement, that a 41-year-old man, died trying to prove himself, that he was able to hypnotize an elephant and do what he asked.

Everything was captured by one of the passers-by, who did not hesitate to record everything with his cell phone.

Suspecting that it was a threat, the animal, whose weight is more than six tons, threw the man and began to crush him. “It was a terrible thing, we all saw it, including the children”, “we never thought that a tragedy would happen. We thought that his hypnosis was a joke and that he would soon return” and “it was evident that he was wrong.” “I did not know what he was doing,” according to some of the witnesses to the local media.
