3. Cause of death unknown ( we'll have to wait for necropsy)
From the link: He was the darling of Berlin, an international superstar, a success story of beating the odds. And now Knut, the five-year-old polar bear who spent his whole life raised by humans, is dead.
The cause of death is unknown.

So sad...
Didn't the Goracle predict the demise of the polar bears in his phony movie?
-
Yes. Due to global warming, free-ranging polar bears will no longer migrate to Berlin during the winter. It will be too difficult to find seals in the Rhine.

Oh, poor Knut. I never forgave the animal activists who wanted him killed as opposed to his being held at the zoo.

Autopsy ties Knut's death to brain problems
An animal autopsy of the 4-year-old polar bear named Knut that died suddenly at the Berlin Zoo on Saturday (March 19) showed distinct brain changes that may be the cause of death.
"The preliminary results show distinctive anomalies at the brain, which could be seen as the cause of the ice bear's sudden passing," according to a press statement from the zoo. "Other irregularities on the organs could not be found from the pathologists."
Knut, born in captivity at the Berlin Zoo on Dec. 5, 2006, became a sensation after he was rejected by his mother and hand-raised by zookeeper Thomas Dorflein.
