How Alex Died *sob*

This was just released this morning:

The Pathology results:

October 4, 2007

Alex died quickly.

He had a sudden, unexpected catastrophic event associated with
arterosclerosis ("hardening of the arteries"). It was either a fatal arrhythmia,
heart attack or stroke, which caused him to die suddenly with no suffering.
There was no way to predict his demise. All of his tests, including his
cholesterol level and asper levels, came back normal earlier that week. His
death could not be connected to his current diet or his age; our veterinarian
said that she has seen similar events in young (<10>

r the same kind of low-level (impossible
to detect in birds as yet) inflammatory disease that is related to heart disease
in humans was responsible.

We will have no further information
