Obit: Billy Arjan Singh

Eminent wildlife activist and author Billy Arjan Singh died at his home in Lakhimpur Kheri late on Friday night. Singh, whose house ‘Tiger Haven’ was situated in the vicinity of the Dudhwa National Park, was ailing for quite some time. He was 94.

Read the full story in the Indian Express.

Also in The Times of India:

LUCKNOW: His last wish could be the best introduction to the wildlife enthusiast and Padma Vibhushan, Billy Arjan Singh, who passed away on Friday night. The 92-year-old specially demanded to have his ashes buried in ‘Tiger Haven’, his sprawling 50-acre farm on the outskirts of Dudhwa national park, alongside the graves of his “most treasured friends” — two leopards that he hand-reared (Juliet and Prince), Eelie a mongrel bitch and two female elephants. For the past 60 years, Billy doggedly shunned human company, naturally there was no reason for him to change his mind at the fag end of the journey.
