An Important Update About CuteFoxie
7 years ago
This is for everyone who has been wondering about the state of affairs involving 
CuteFoxie since he passed away in March. As many of you know, CuteFoxie preferred to keep his distance from his family; so when he passed away there were a few questions as to whether or not CuteFoxie’s relatives could be located. It is of this matter that there is now good and bad news.
The good news is that CuteFoxie’s family has ben found. After not hearing from Alberta’s Public Trustee’s Office since May, I placed a follow-up email to inquire about whether or not his case had come to their attention. According to Alberta’s Line of Authority, the Public Trustee would be entrusted with handling CuteFoxie’s burial should the police and Medical Examiner’s Office be unable to located his relatives. The response that I received was that the MEO had released his body to a local funeral home. This could only have been done if a relative had stepped forward to claim his body.
The bad news is that neither the Trustees nor the Funeral home filed any information regarding who took possession of his body and at what time this took place. The most that can be gleamed is that these events took place sometime between May and September, and that his body has likely been interred somewhere in the Edmonton area. It is also possible that this information does exist, but it may be protected from public knowledge by the provincial Privacy Act.
So for those of you who have been worried that CuteFoxie’s body remains unclaimed, you can now rest easy. To those of you who were hoping for more information, I am afraid this is the most that can be said. It is possible that his family has not reached out to the furry community because they wish to keep this matter private and personal. If that is the case, then their privacy should be respected. If any more information is forthcoming, this journal will be updated accordingly.
One last thing that I would like to say about my friend. In the months since he died, it has been truly remarkable to gauge just how many lives were touched by this little Fox. Many of you have found ways to express your grief over CuteFoxie’s passing and to pay your last respects to him. And I know that CuteFoxie would be shedding tears from the fact that so many tears have been shed over his death, and that so many heartfelt messages have been expressed by those who knew him. But what I would give just to hug him one more time and tell him not to be afraid.
