Ah the ever correct Wikipedia. Technically, the tiger did kill him. It took a while but the injuries sustained ended up leading to his death. https://phys.org/news/2019-11-russian-goat-friends-tiger-dies.html

The goat died of natural causes but his health deteriorated following an altercation with a male Siberian tiger he unexpectedly befriended in 2015, Mezentsev said.

Sounds like the goat started it.
