Summary:
Kiazi, a female Western lowland gorilla, died after she had been under medical treatment for one week. Zookeepers noticed she was not using her left arm, and then that her health was declining. They anesthetized her for a full evaluation, but she died just before the procedure was scheduled to begin.
