Ten years have passed since the famous dead Toronto raccoon incident, where the little critter and its shrine stole our hearts.It was on July 9, 2015, at the corner of Church and Yonge when the little dude, affectionately named Conrad, met his untimely death and became an instant icon in the city's lore.It took a whole 14 hours before the City's animal services came and scooped up the raccoon's lifeless body — and in that time, the internet, the city, and others around the world celebrated his trash panda life and mourned its untimely end.The whole saga started when the City was alerted via Twitter (it was still Twitter back then) that Conrad had met his maker.
