Patsy the elephant has died at the age of 40.

The matriarch of the Toronto Zoo's elephant herd for 33 years, CEO Cal White says she was euthanized after a period of failing health due to long term degenerative arthritis.

Because elephants mourn the loss of one of their herd, White tells 680 News the other elephants were allowed to spend the night with patsy following her death.

White says an autopsy was done today, and Patsy was to be buried late this afternoon, around 5 p.m., at a private site at the zoo.
