Ten years have passed since the famous dead Toronto raccoon incident, where the little critter and its shrine stole our hearts. The whole saga started when the City was alerted via Twitter (it was still Twitter back then) that Conrad had met his maker. #DeadRaccoonTO pic.twitter.com/XBMbzOz4Jg — DeadRaccoonTO (@DeadRaccoonTO) July 10, 2015Residents left handwritten messages, snapped pictures of the shrine, and of course, shared them on Twitter. That was 10 years ago, and little Conrad, we have never forgotten you. Here's hoping you're chewing on some hot garbage in Big Rock Candy Mountain, and remember, all raccoons go to heaven.
