 her talent as a singer and songwriter, it looked like she was just a step away from stardom. Tragically, Taylor's promising career would be cut short. Having some free time before her next concert, Mitchell, an environmentalist who enjoyed nature walks, went to Cape Breton Highlands National Park on the sunny afternoon of October 27, 2009. Imagine this, a peaceful visit to the National Park turned into a terrifying encounter. While hiking, she was unexpectedly attacked by a coyote. Sadly, Mitchell lost her life due to the severity of the attack and subsequent blood loss. What made this incident even more shocking was that it was the first recorded case of an adult being killed by coyotes. This event left experts scratching their heads as coyotes were believed to be cautious and wary of humans.
