Jeff Johnson, the former reptile dealer seen in Netflix’s Tiger King has died, Oklahoma City Police confirmed to Deadline today. His cause of death was declared a suicide. He was 58.
Johnson’s appearance on the show was not long, but it was memorable. In Episode 4 of Season 1, Johnson shed light on the animosity between Joe Exotic and Carole Baskin saying, “Carole’s lawyers are vicious and they go after anybody involved…So everybody that had been involved all got dragged into court.”
According to the police report, Johnson shot himself on September 8 of this year after an argument with his wife. He was alive when first responders arrived, but pronounced dead at the hospital.
It’s been a bad couple months for the Tiger King family. Just days before Johnson’s death, Erik Cowie, a zookeeper featured on the Netflix series, died on September 3. The cause of Cowie’s...

Hundreds flocked this weekend to the reopening of Tiger King Park, the exotic animal zoo that was featured in Netflix’s docu-series “Tiger King” and previously owned by Joe Exotic.
According to the Daily Mail, the Wynnewood, Okla. animal park was given clearance to reopen as long as both workers and visitors followed the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s sanitation and social distancing protocols. However, photos taken by Daily Mail show nearly all visitors disobeying the guidelines by not wearing masks and crowding together to get a look at the park’s lions and tigers.
Tiger King Park workers also appeared to neglect rules, including head zookeeper Erik Cowie and the zoo’s new owner Jeff Lowe, who both appear in the Netflix series. In photographs, Cowie appears close to visitors when presenting the animals, while Lowe and his wife Lauren are shown greeting guests as they entered the park.

Hosted by Joel McHale, “The Tiger King and I” aftershow brought back favorites like John Finlay, Erik Cowie and Kelci “Saff” Saffery. The “Tiger King” crew talked about how they’re getting used to their new celebrity statuses and revealed a few secrets that didn’t make it into the show.
