MIAMI -- Miami MetroZoo officials will continue testing to determine what caused a fatal brain hemorrhage in the world's oldest orangutan.Fifty-five-year-old Nonja was found dead Saturday at the zoo where she had lived since 1983.
Sumatran orangutans typically live 40 to 50 years.
MetroZoo officials said Nonja was in good health until suffering the brain hemorrhage that made her pass out and vomit. Necropsy results showed the orangutan choked to death on her vomit.
