The living symbol of Smokey Bear was an American black bear three-month-old cub who in the spring of 1950 was caught in the Capitan Gap fire, a wildfire that burned 17,000 acres in the Lincoln National Forest, in the Capitan Mountains of New Mexico. He died November 9, 1976, of old age at the National Zoo.

Smokey the Bear is only an advertising mascot. Since he was never real, he never died. In fact, I've even seen some Smokey the Bear ads in the past couple years.
