The long journey by boat from Bangkok took its toll on her, furthermore she had injured her legs. She never fully recovered and it was decided to put her down, why she was broughtto at the Vet clinic at Landbohöjskolan, wher she was given chloroform by the trunk, and then her throat was cut, as can be seen on the drawings below.
