A baby bunny named Simon, who was expected to grow to be a giant, dog-sized rabbit, died on a United Airlines flight on Monday while on his way to meet his new owner.
The bunny was travelling from the UK home of Annette Edwards, a breeder of giant bunnies, to Chicago. A United Airlines spokesperson told BuzzFeed News that Simon arrived in good health, and was transported to a holding area.

Later, when representatives checked on Simon in his crate, they found he had died. The spokesperson said the airline offered to do a necropsy on the animal, but the customer declined.
Edwards told the Associated Press that Simon, who at 10 months of age was 3 feet long, was in good health before the trip. “Simon had his vet check just before getting on the plane,” she said. “He was fit as a fiddle.”
She said Simon had been bought by a celebrity but did not name the would-be owner.
