	Joy Adamson - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Joy Adamson (January 20, 1910 – January 3, 1980) was a naturalist, best known as the author and main character of the book, Born Free, which described her experiences in saving the life of a lioness, Elsa.
		Further police investigation found that Joy's wounds were too sharp and bloodless to have been caused by an animal, and concluded that Joy was murdered with a sharp instrument.
		Adamson appeared in "The Bargain" and "Death Walks by Night," two second-season episodes of the British television crime drama The Vise, which were broadcast in 1955.

	The Straight Dope: Was "Born Free" author Joy Adamson killed by a lion--or murdered?
		Adamson's body was discovered by her assistant, Peter Morson (or maybe it was Pieter Mawson--there is a distressing amount of confusion in the press on this point), on the evening of January 3, 1980, on a road near her camp in a remote part of Kenya.
		Adamson's wounds were too sharp and bloodless to have been caused by an animal, and they decided the 69-year-old naturalist had been murdered with a sharp instrument.
		Adamson apparently was in the habit of sacking the help right and left--and eventually a 23-year-old herdsman named Paul Wakwaro Ekai was charged with the crime.

		George, the perceptive and loving husband that he is, has a surprise for Joy on the trip home: he’s kept her favorite, Elsa, behind and Joy’s joy is complete.

		But, as Elspeth Huxley points out, even if Joy's beasts had not made her famous, she would still have been known and admired for her classic paintings and her unique record of the tribal dresses and regalia of Kenya.
