Sam the Koala is dead (update) by CubbyHouseFilms HD

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 down.

There are plans to have Sam stuffed and displayed in the Melbourne Museum.
