Jeff Johnson
According to police authorities, Jeff Johnson, a reptile trader who appeared in Netflix’s Tiger King: Murder, Mayhem, and Madness, committed suicide in September. He was 58 years old at the time. The 2020 docuseries, which centered on an eccentric cast of characters involved with the exotic animal trade in the Southern United States, became a cultural phenomenon when it aired, aided by the start of the Covid-19 pandemic and the fact that nearly everyone in the country was at home and looking for distractions at the time. It has produced a plethora of spinoffs, fictionalized tales, parodies, comic comics, and (obviously) litigation.
The guidelines were published by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, which polices workplace safety for the Labour Department, using emergency power granted by Congress. Suppose the Labour Secretary finds that a new workplace safety standard is required to protect employees from a severe hazard. In that case, OSHA can bypass the regular rulemaking process, which can take years. On Monday, the American Medical Association claimed that the standards are “appropriately organised to aggressively encourage immunisation.”
According to the Oklahoma City Police Department, Johnson committed suicide on September 8 after an altercation with his wife in their home’s garage. According to an incident report obtained by PEOPLE, Johnson shot himself in front of his wife. According to the article, Johnson’s wife immediately dialed 911, and when local officials came, he still had a pulse. Johnson, on the other hand, was declared dead. The couple’s children were also there at the time of the occurrence, according to police, and Johnson was not known to suffer from any mental problems before his death. In Tiger King’s season one, episode four, Johnson had a brief cameo broadcast in 2020, when he discussed animal rights activist Carole Baskin.
