- <p> DIED. Mrithi, 23, the 400-lb. male silverback ape who
- appeared in Gorillas in the Mist; after being shot; in Rwanda.
- Local wildlife experts speculate that Mrithi was mistakenly shot
- in the forest by a soldier or rebel in the country's raging civil
- war. Mrithi became a popular tourist attraction as a result of
- the work of biologist Dian Fossey.
