Conrad died alone on a city sidewalk, but Toronto was not about to let his memory be forgotten.

Torontonians banded together to create a memorial for the dead raccoon after his lifeless body was found at corner of Yonge and Church Sts. Thursday morning and remained there for hours after Toronto 311 said Animal Services was notified.

The first mention of the dead raccoon online appears to be a Tweet from user @JasonWagar to @311Toronto at 9:05 a.m. Thursday, noting that the deceased animal was on the sidewalk outside 819 Yonge St.

“Thank you for letting us know. This was reported a short while ago and Animal Services has been notified,” the 311 account responded.

But the raccoon, dubbed Conrad, wasn’t picked up, and by 3 p.m., someone had placed a red rose in one of the critter’s paws. A framed photo of a raccoon and a condolence card were also placed by Conrad:

By 8:20 p.m., Conrad was still there and the memorial had grown to include more flowers and a sheet of paper for people to leave messages:

Wager’s Tweets were shared hundreds of times and the raccoon spawned its own hashtag, #DeadRaccoonTO, which became the top Twitter trend for Toronto.

Of course, Twitter-savvy Toronto Councillor Norm Kelly (open Norm Kelly's policard)got in on the action.

After nightfall, people placed several tea light candles, a large Jesus candle and a donation box around Conrad’s body.

A City of Toronto worker arrived to remove Conrad just after 11 p.m., unceremoniously tossing his furry little body into a black garbage bag.

The memorial remained.
