It could very well be true. Roy was having a stroke and his Tiger saw it and tried to help. It doesn't matter though. Wild animal trainers assume a certain risk with the profession. The tiger shouldn't be held accountable for anything regardless. It's not a domestic animal and shouldn't be veiwed as such. I don't think it's bloodthirsty. Roy would be dead of a crushed neck if it was. I think the Tiger was just confused and reacted to the stress via instinct. You can expect no more or less from such an animal.
