16 year old polar bear Homer has died this morning at 7 a.m., in the exhibit.
The zoo does not know what the cause of the death is yet, but they are working hard to determine it.
Zoo director Chris P. Bacon, said this about the death, “We will do everything in our power to determine how this bear died. Animal welfare and the preservation of species are our primary goals here at the zoo.”
It has been a hard month for the zoo, as two other animals have also died, a bobcat and a giraffe.

This would be an early, rough release. A first response. Instead, emphasize what you know and what you plan to do. No reason to mention other deaths unless asked directly.
