Taylor Mitchell, Singer-Songwriter, Killed By Coyotes On Hike In Canadian Park

TORONTO — Two coyotes attacked a promising young musician as she was hiking alone in a national park in eastern Canada, and authorities said she died Wednesday of her injuries. The victim was identified as Taylor Mitchell, 19, a singer-songwriter from Toronto who was touring her new album on the East Coast.

She was hiking solo on a trail in Cape Breton Highlands National Park in Nova Scotia on Tuesday when the attack occurred. She was airlifted to a Halifax hospital in critical condition and died Wednesday morning, authorities said.

Coyotes, which also are known as prairie wolves, are found from Central America to the United States and Canada.

Wildlife biologist Bob Bancroft said coyote attacks are extremely rare because the animals are usually shy.

Bancroft, a retired biologist with Nova Scotia's Department of Natural Resources, said it's possible the coyotes thought Mitchell was a deer or other prey.


This gal had it all, from her tender heart to the toughness of her callouses on the fingertips of her left hand, she was warm and radiated femininity.

I guess one of the ACME experiments finally paid off.

I could see how a pack of coyotes could take a chick down. I'm guessing she wasn't exaxly rumplewife sized.

Nick, I gotta agree. Never heard of her, before this link, but wow.

rules fuckface.

Good, another whiny little bitch that won't be heard from again.

coyote ugly at that.

Sounds like the dingo got that baby

Maybe it's a publicity stunt and she's hiding in the attic

And you are pussified twat. I listened to about 20 seconds of her whiny voice before I hit the F5 key. WTF is a young girl, 5'2" doing the wilderness alone hiking, especially without protection.

Ya, the dingos thought she was a dear. Was she skipping along the trail singing whinny songs? I would have eaten her too.

Darwin at his best!

Sure, but all the protection in the world can't protect from getting a broken heart (or eaten in this case).

Nick, wow, as in I was impressed by what I heard in that youtube link you provided.

Nothing more.

How the hell is taking a stroll in the woods cheating death, you fucking idiot? Coyotes attacking and eating humans happens pretty much never.

Somewhere a family is mourning, yet you're happy she died because a 20 second music clip inconvenienced you? Go chug a mercury malt, fuckbag.

Well you're obviously fucking deaf--as evidenced by your previous propping of GG the guitar karaoke king, etc--but you've got to be kidding. Haven't you ever heard a really good woman singer? Like Laura Nyro? Sarah Vaughn? Whatever, the coyotes had obviously heard just about enough of TM's self-absorbed angst.

Jerkoff,
Are you typing this with a straight face, or are you a complete dick head. You and your wife should be ashamed at laughing at this poor young girl. This whole thread is a disaster.

As far as the idiot that decided to get a stupid ass flu shot? She got what was coming to her. Stupid is as stupid does.

Dumb ass.

She got caught by a coyote? Fuckin' Amateurs.

Sin,

Solid effort but G'o C'oogs' beat you to it.

Nick, it's not an either/or deal. Just because Sarah Vaughn is clearly better, it doesn't mean lesser lights can't still bring something of value to the table.

If that weren't the case, what a narrow world we'd live in.

Any young girl like this girl, who picks up an instrument, writes and performs her own music, and does so with some degree of skill and panache, hey, I give her credit. I enjoyed what she put together there, and I enjoyed her delivery.

Is she Sarah Vaughn, or even Joni Mitchell? Of course not. Does she have to be? Of course not.

As for GG, who the fuck are you to even try to knock someone like that?

Oh absolutely, but she's simply not "wow" material. I'm taking issue with your wowing of mediocrity. Sure, GG can play his ass off, no question from this end, but he couldn't fill a club, let alone a hall. Why? Cuz that ain't "Wow!" Misapplied wows in fact contribute to the dumbing down of the planet a lot more than you think. American Idol is a result of this, not a cause, btw.

Nick, GG fills clubs all the time - in England, where he lives - not that that is either here nor there. Some of the greatest talents the world has ever known weren't popular during their time.

Allan Holdsworth will never fill more than a small club either, and he's one of a handful of the greatest guitarists who ever lived. Popularity means nothing. In fact, if anything, popularity is usually an indicator of an inferior product, using your mention of American Idol as Exhibit A.

If being a Canadian folk whiner will get you killed then Alanis Morissette would have been dead a long time ago.

She's a pop/alternative singer, not a folk singer.

Alanis Morissette getting devoured by coyotes--now that's WOW!! Sarah Vaughn could safely walk those woods. Of course I disagree with your sour appreciation for the popular. In fact everyone loves Beethoven, even if they don't listen to it on regular basis. His music is universally enjoyed by all who hear it. And since Beethoven is of a decidedly high level of quality, this clearly indicates common taste is in fact very high. It gets dumbed down however--and not just by inappropriate wowing, but by much of the corporate corollary of junk food passing for pop music these days.

Speaking of which, something I read in law school many moons ago which seems apropos to that comment . . .

Coyote v. ACME

Tonight must be particularly terrifying for the youngsters in your neighbourhood.

"Nuhhh-uhhh...I triple-dog double dare you!"


Nightmare On Diego's Street

Mr. BadTouch??

BWAAAHAAA!!

I may be a cold bastard, but I actually kind of find it warmhearting to know that nature's critters can still get over on us from time to time.

I mean, who doesn't route for the little guy. Us Humans are the ultimate favorite, we've been dominating for thousands of years. If the little coyote can still pull off an upset like this, they might squeak themselves into a BCS bowl at the end of the year.

It's in wikipedia, so it must be true.

There are only two recorded fatalities in North America from coyote attacks. In 1981 in Glendale, California, a coyote attacked toddler Kelly Keen, who was rescued by her father, but died in surgery due to blood loss and a broken neck. In October 2009, Taylor Mitchell, a 19-year-old folk singer on tour, died from injuries sustained in an attack by a pair of coyotes while hiking in the Skyline Trail of the Cape Breton Highlands National Park in Nova Scotia, Canada.

MAYBE IT WAS A CHUPACABRA!!!!!
