Nearly two weeks after the sudden death of Knut the polar bear on March 19, the final necropsy results were made public:

Knut, who walked in circles before freezing up and falling into the water in his enclosure at the Berlin Zoo, drowned.

It was reported before that Knut died of brain anomalies.

While drowning was the immediate cause of death, experts who examined his body concluded that the underlying cause was encephalitis, or a swelling of the brain brought on by an infection.

The nature of the infection is unclear, explained the pathologist who led Knut's examination, although it was probably caused by a virus.

According to reports, Knut carried the infection for quite a while, and it was so severe that it likely would have killed the bear eventually.

Why must the lives of child stars be so tragic?

We'll miss our favorite polar bear!

At least we know he won't soon be forgotten!

Knut the Polar Bear, who died at the tragically young age of four, will be stuffed and put on display in a Berlin museum.

He'll be placed prominently near the world's largest dinosaur skeleton.

As another tribute to the famous polar bear, Berlin zoo director Bernhard Blaszkiewitz will erect "a statue of Knut as a cub in the zoo."

So nice to hear the memory of Knut will live on!

He will be missed.

So sad!

Video of the world's most famous polar bear's sudden death has surfaced.

The footage shows Knut walking in circles and then collapsing into a pool prior to sudden death at a Berlin zoo.

Zookeeper Heiner Kloes told the press that the zoo staff was shocked. One moment, Knut was in the water, and the next, he was dead. He said Knut wasn't sick, and they don't know why he died.

This is absolutely heartwrenching news.

Knut, the famous polar bear who was famously rejected by his mother at birth, and raised by zookeepers at the Berlin Zoo, passed away today suddenly at the age of four.

According to reports, he was discovered floating in the water by the polar bear enclosure unresponsive.

Bear Keeper Heiner Kloes explained:

"He was by himself in his compound, he was in the water, and then he was dead…he was not sick, we don't know why he died."

Tests to determine his cause of death are expected to be taken on Monday.

Poor thing. This really chokes us up.

We just hope that his short time in this world was filled with love and happiness, despite his initial hardships upon birth.

May he rest in peace.
