"WHALE'S DEATH A MYSTERY -- The remnants of a 58-foot finback whale that washed ashore on an eastern Long Island beach in Shirley, N.Y., were examined on Thursday by staff members of the Riverhead Foundation for Marine Research and Preservation. There were no visible signs of injury to the whale, and a forensic examination was set for Friday to seek a cause of death (Boston Globe October 10 2014)."
My first thought was radiation from Fukushima.
