he died b/c they tranquilized him too often. they stole him and had to keep moving him. he was bred right near my house, about 5 miles down the road. there was a giant lawsuit brought against the guy who stole him and he is now in jail and has to pay a huge fine and restitution that he will never be able to afford to repay. and the worst part of the whole thing is that what he did by stealing and tranquilizing goliath killed him. some people have no brains...
