Thailand’s rare panda dies of heart failure

BANGKOK: Thailand’s Chiang Mai Zoo, where rare celebrity panda Chuang Chuang lived and died, announced on its website that the autopsy had indicated that the giant panda died from heart failure last month.

“There were no wounds on Chuang Chuang’s body and no foreign objects were found in his windpipe,” the Chiang Mai Zoo said. “The cause of death was due to heart failure, which resulted in oxygen deprivation of internal organs.”
