The oldest tiger of the Tadoba Andhari Tiger Reserve (TATR) in Maharashtra, which recently killed an elderly shepherd, was found dead on Monday, a forest department official said.

The 15-year-old tiger, 'Waghdoh', whose carcass was found near Sinala village in Chandrapur district, which houses the reserve, might have died due to old age, said Prakash Lonkar, Chief Conservator of Forests, Chandrapur Circle.
