SAM the koala, who became a worldwide symbol of hope in the aftermath of the Black Saturday bushfires, has died.

She was expected to undergo surgery today to treat cysts as a result of urogenital chlamydiosis, a life-threatening disease that affects 50% of the koala population.

Vet John Butler told waiting media outside Morwell Veterinary Clinic this afternoon that due to complications with the disease, the best course of action was to put Sam to sleep.

  • I am heartbroken that Sam is gone but it's comforting to know that she was well looked after for the last six months of her life and did not die a slow painful death. She was a positive light to people at a very difficult time and we were blessed to have known her. R.I.P. Sam, you truly were a gift.

  • R.I.P Sam.. Poor thing.
