"The examination also confirmed that he was underweight, arthritic and had progressive and incurable kidney disease, as determined before his death," according to a statement from the state Department of Fish and Wildlife and National Park Service."He also had a severe parasitic skin infection over his entire body, caused by demodectic mange and a fungus, specifically ringworm.
His exploits were frequently documented over the years as he was captured on home security cameras while moving through the area. He was most famed for successfully crossing both the San Diego and Ventura freeways, making his home in the Griffith Park area.Likely born in the Santa Monica Mountains, P-22 somehow found his way to his tiny, nine-square-mile home in Griffith Park, separated from his birth area by two of the busiest freeways in the world.
