The beloved celebrity owl, Flaco, met a tragic end after reportedly flying into a building on Manhattan's Upper West Side. Zoologists confirmed that the Eurasian eagle owl died from a traumatic impact, with further tests planned to determine if illness played a role in his death. Flaco had captured the hearts of New Yorkers after escaping from Central Park Zoo last year and living free in the city. Despite being in good physical shape, the necropsy revealed that he had no experience hunting, as he had been in captivity since he was a fledgling. The Central Park Zoo blamed the person who cut open Flaco's enclosure for his untimely death. Fans of the majestic owl mourned his passing and called for justice to be served. Tributes poured in, with some suggesting a permanent bronze statue overlooking New York City or a burial in Central Park in his honor. The news of Flaco's death sparked speculation about the urban threats that may have contributed to his demise, with some fans noting that he had been quieter in the days leading up to his tragic accident. The investigation into Flaco's death continues, with tests being conducted to determine the exact cause of his passing. The loss of Flaco has left a void in the hearts of New Yorkers, who will miss his nightly hoots and majestic presence in the city.
