In the incident that occurred in Gabon’s Lopé-Okanda forests, Dosio, who went to the region with his professional guide, was attacked by a herd of five elephants he suddenly encountered.
Dosio, who was crushed under the elephant herd, died at the scene, while his accompanying guide survived with severe injuries.
Dosio, a 75-year-old businessman living in California, had been involved in “trophy hunting” activities worldwide for many years.
