According to foreign media such as the Daily Mail, Akhil Pakr al-Din, 50, of Kupasi, Iraq, was found dead in the garden of his house.
It was a terrible condition in which parts of the body were damaged.
According to police investigations, he has been raising lions and other wildlife in his garden for several years.
A few days before the accident, a lion was bought as a pet and brought home.
The neighbor stated "A newly purchased lion suddenly attacked Aldin, killed him, and began to eat some of the bodies."
He also said he brought a rifle from his home and fired seven rounds at the lion.
When the photo was released, questions and points were raised online about how wild animals could be raised at home.
According to local reports, the victim purchased the lion with the intention of raising and taming it at home.
Meanwhile, illegal wildlife trafficking is prevalent in Iraq.
It has been exacerbated by years of conflict, lax law enforcement and high demand for rare species.
