Coyote got Biko'd

Hal, the one year old coyote that was in Central Park died in custody yesterday. They said "the cause of death had not been determined," but they also said "Hal stopped breathing when he was restrained to put an identification tag on his ear...a soft muzzle had been placed around Hal's snout, but it did not cover his nose. His legs had also been restrained, but he had not been tranquilized." I'm surprised they didn't say that he hung himself.
