Update: Momocho has passed away this evening. He ate and was sleeping and when I checked on him 2 hours later, he was in the process of dying, and took his last breathe. It was a fast process. Upon further inspection, he had a huge tumor in his leg stretching to the lower abdomen. This tumor was not there when I handled him 2 days ago, so it must have been growing aggressively, possibly contributing to his stroke when the tumor cells broke off and went into the bloodstream. He is buried in the forest where his body will nourish the tree and plants. I am glad I took the day off now. At least I was able to spend the last hours with him.
