Asked by Wiki User

She did much research on the mountain gorilla, and eventually was murdered in her cabin, by unknown people. Poachers were blamed, but large amounts of cash and valuables found at the scene suggest poachers were not to blame, for they would have taken the cash. She wrote a successful book, "Gorillas In The Mist", which was made into a movie starring Sigourney Weaver. The Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund is named in her honor.
