msn.com is currently showing a viedo on Bubba, the alligator. It is basically about Bubba's life at home. I don't know when this was filmed, but they make no mention of his passing either.

Go to www.msn.com and click on the viedo section, then do a search for bubba. It should bring up a selection of viedos that should be able to play. The one on Bubba is called alligator palace.
