Siegfried and Roy are being exposed in a tell-all book, The Secret Life of Siegfried and Roy by the Vegas animal trainers ex-security cheif, Jim Mydlach who claims that when their tiger Sasha died of kidney failure, Roy demanded she be cremated.
By this time, Sahra had gone into rigor mortis, so there was no hope of stuffing the huge animal into the tiny furnace. But Roy . . . didn’t want to hear it. He wanted the cat cremated and brought back to the house as soon as possible, and he insisted the ashes had to still be warm when he got them.”
With that, the performers’ vet told Mydlach, “Cut her up.” He “dismembered the tiger’s corpse, cutting off its legs . . . one of the worst experiences of [my] life.” The tiger’s ashes went into Roy’s private collection. “He had shelves of urns lined up in his bedroom, each containing the ashes of his dogs and big cats,” Mydlach writes.
