Star, an iconic reindeer who lived in downtown Anchorage, died Tuesday – weeks after he was possibly poisoned. Star was the seventh reindeer to live at the corner of 10th Avenue and I Street.
Star was euthanized Tuesday according to his owner Albert Whitehead.
“His health was so bad that he was not doing very well,” Whitehead said. &
