Death of King

@204.12.149.18 I looked into this and was only able to find a facebook post talking about his death. At least two sources [1] [2] talk about the park after King's supposed death date, but neither mention him passing away.

I would like to mention that I am really happy you took the time to add information! If you are able to find a WP:RELIABLESOURCE with this information, feel free to add it. Thank you very much for contributing to our encyclopedia. Cmrc23 ʕ•ᴥ•ʔ 15:56, 9 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

here is a copy of the statement put out by Monkey Jungle. I also note they no longer mention the Gorilla Forest as an attraction on their website. As they are closed today I did not call to confirm, and most likely I will forget about this for a few months again. https://www.facebook.com/GorillasLand/posts/-king-monkey-jungle-united-states-died-on-april-13th-2021-he-was-euthanized-due-/4341409732556766/ 2001:56A:F8E8:4E00:1417:5E54:94C1:E72B (talk) 18:36, 1 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I appreciate you wanting to call them, but we would need a reliable source (for example from a news organisation). I hope you understand! People on facebook can say anything and it can be very hard to confirm if it's true. I suggest you read Wikipedia:Reliable sources. A statement published by Monkey Jungle might suffice, and would be much better than a third party. Thank you for checking nonetheless! Cmrc23 ʕ•ᴥ•ʔ 00:11, 2 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
