Of course, it could all be rumour spread by folks upset with her campaign against gorilla poaching.

Of course.....she was killed by those same people. In a Natgeo special I remember her touching the gorilla and him touching her but NOT in a sexual way. </div></div>
well if she was sleeping and having relations with the gorilla, they'd hardly show that on national geographic, would they?
there's a lot of mystery surrounding her death. some suggest that the way she died was not the usual for poachers, and that it may be someone who knows her living arrangement. it may be that she was killed because she violated a taboo.
