Taylor Mitchell
Taylor Josephine Stephanie Luciow (August 27, 1990October 27, 2009), known by her stage name
Taylor Mitchell, was a
Canadian country folk singer and songwriter from
Toronto. Her debut and sole studio album, ''For Your Consideration'' (2009), received encouraging reviews and airplay. Following a busy summer performance schedule, which included an appearance as a young performer at the
Winnipeg Folk Festival, Mitchell embarked on a tour of Eastern Canada with a newly acquired licence and car.
Mitchell died at the age of 19 of injuries and blood loss after two
eastern coyotes (
coywolves) mauled her while she was walking along
Cape Breton Highlands National Park's
Skyline Trail. Her death is the only known fatal
coyote attack on an adult and the only known fatal coyote attack on a human ever confirmed in
Canada. It shocked experts and led to a reassessment of the risk to humans from the predator behaviour of coyotes.
