How did Dian Fossey die at the age 53?
Diane Fossey was murdered by Protais Zigiranyirazo. He was the former Governor of Ruhengeri province in Rwanda. He killed Diane because she found out that he was the leader of the poaching and endangered species smuggling ring and she was going to turn them in. So that's why he killed her. While it is considered very possible that Protais Zigiranyirazo ordered Dian killed, to date, who actually did kill her has never been proven. And as "Mr. Z" was released from prison after only serving 8 1/2 years (for the genocide of 800,000 people) it is very doubtful that Dian's murder will ever be solved.

Dian Fossey - born 16 January 1932, died 26 December 26 1985 - was an American zoologist who spent 18 years studying gorillas in the mountain forests of Rwanda. And then she got killed in the bush by crazy poachers (Cannibals)
Did Dian Fossey have accomplishments?
Yes, she did. She studied Gorillas in Rwanda for eighteen years. She lived with them, and gained their trust by imitating their behavior. Before Dian Fossey, many people thought that gorillas were mad beastly savage monsters. She disproved that theory,and had the first peaceful human contact with gorillas ever recorded. The gorillas treated her like part of their family group. Dian Fossey was also very active in fighting against poachers, especially after her favorite gorilla, Digit, was killed by them. She founded the Digit fund, which was later changed to the Dian Fossey Fund (after she died), as an organization (in memory of Digit) to raise money for the fight against poachers. She singlehandedly brought attention to the plight of Africa's gorillas. She was murdered in her cabin, supposedly by poachers trying to get her gorillas. Dian Fossey is often mistaken for Jane Goodall. Jane Goodall worked with chimps, and is a completely different person.
