Michael Jackson's Tiger Thriller Dies of Lung Cancer

Thriller and her brother Sabu were born on Nov. 20, 1998, and lived at Jackson's Neverland Ranch (along with many other animals, such as giraffes, flamingos, orangutans and elephants) until May 4, 2006, when Jackson asked Hedren to take the tigers to her Shambala Preserve in Acton.

Thriller and her brother Sabu were born on Nov. 20, 1998, and lived at Jackson's Neverland Ranch (along with many other animals, such as giraffes, flamingos, orangutans and elephants) until May 4, 2006, when Jackson asked Hedren to take the tigers to her Shambala Preserve in Acton.

"She was about a tough a tiger as we have known here. She ruled over Sabu," Hedren said. "She was the queen. We were fascinated by her dominance."

A necropsy was performed to pinpoint the cause of death, and Thriller was cremated. Staff workers at the reserve held a private service in her honor and buried her ashes.
