KNUT’S KEEPER DEAD AT 44
The zookeeper who reared the most famous polar bear on earth from birth has been found dead in his Berlin, Germany apartment.
Thomas Doerflein became a celebrity in Germany after giving up a year of his life to rear baby polar bear Knut, who was rejected by his mother at birth.
Stars flocked to see the cute bear at the Berlin Zoo whenever they were filming in the city and Leonardo DiCaprio became a big fan after appearing with Knut for a Vanity Fair green issue cover shoot.
Doerflein, 44, had reportedly been ill for some time before death, which is not being treated as suspicious.
