Knut is Kaput
Knut the polar bear, beloved by the Germans, and once featured in Vanity Fair being cuddled by Leonardo DiCaprio, choked to death in his own pen on a plastic spork in front of 700 adoring fans.

Berlin’s beloved polar bear Knut, who rose to stardom when he was hand-raised by zoo keepers after being rejected by his mother at birth, died on Saturday.
The world-famous bear died alone in his compound. A post mortem will be conducted on Monday to try pinpoint his cause of death, he said. Between 600 and 700 people were at Knut’s compound and saw the four-year-old bear die.
