So incredibly sad.
Condolences
ANCHORAGE, Alaska (KTUU) – Anchorage’s most famous reindeer has died.
Star, the seventh reindeer to live at 10th Avenue and I Street in Downtown Anchorage, was euthanized on Tuesday after “serious deteriorating health.”
“We had hopes he would survive but that was not the case,” said caretaker and owner Albert Whitehead, who also cared for Star’s immediate predecessor.
Police in February aided the return of Star to the pen after he was found wandering around town. Around the same time, authorities opened an investigation into a concerning encounter caught on security camera. In the video, a man can be seen spraying an unknown substance into Star’s pen, presumably the cause of the reindeer’s ensuing illness.
