Alfred the Gorilla
Alfred died on 10 March 1948. The press at the time speculated that ‘his pet hate got him in the end’, linking Alfred's dislike of aeroplanes with the passage of one over the zoo shortly before his death. The actual cause of his demise was tuberculosis which he contracted a year before and despite his keepers best efforts, he had been unable to recover. His death was mourned by many of the regular visitors to the zoo, some of whom were even inspired to compose poems in his honour.
Alfred Rose (singer)
Rosario Alfred Fernandes (5 August 1932 − 21 October 2003), better known by his stage name Alfred Rose, was a Goan tiatrist. Till date, he remains one of the most popular singers and composers of Konkani songs (of the "cantaram" category), and is routinely broadcast on the Panaji or Panjim station of All India Radio (Akashvani), the prominent state-funded broadcaster. He is believed to have sung or composed, or both, around 5000 Konkani songs, during his career, but a proper listing of these is itself hard to come by.
