The anguished brother of a teen who died trying to save two buddies from a tiger attack at the San Francisco Zoo struggled Friday to understand why the survivors ran out on their mortally injured friend.

"If he stepped in for you, why did you leave him to die?" asked 17-year-old Carlos Sousa's brother, Leo, 21.

He said his family has been looking for answers since the 350-pound tiger got loose on Christmas and mauled Carlos.

By all accounts, the youth was killed trying to get the big cat away from brothers Kulbir Dhaliwal, 23, and Amritpal, 19.

I read somewhere the brothers were attacked first and that Sousa came to their aid. Then the tiger turned on Souza and these two fled the scene. Later the cat tracked them down and attacked them again at the cafe.

Which reminds me... Lots of things about this story don’t pass the smell test! Perhaps I should wait until the facts are in and the baloney is out before becoming too invested in any one version! Cheers.

Let's see if I can post a picture of the deceased, as found on his cousin's MySpace page (click here to view the page and listen to its embedded soundtrack Life of Crime by Mob Trial Trilogy, a good example of the East Bay hyphy drug-thug culture that the deceased was into) which should show an upstanding young citizen in a hoodie and Raiders jacket:

Does this kid look like Mohammed Atta or what?
