probably died of natural causes, disease or some sort of medical issue... being hit by a ship
I guess that it's pretty natural to die after being hit by a ship.

'authorities are still trying to figure out what killed the massive whale'

I think the next state furlough day should be set on November 12 in honor of the 1970 event.

I'd give 6-to-5 odds against an intelligent method of "disposal" ... and, can y'all estimate the "professional fees" that'll be paid by the Commonwealth taxpayers for a necropsy of this magnitude?

Another gratuitous Palme D'Or should revive him.

Key Phrase: After the whale washes up on shore, authorities will examine and properly dispose of the whale.
They are gathering cases of dynamite now. WooHoo!

Why'n't they merely gather up about 300,000 old copies of the Boston Globe in which to wrap it?
He's sleepin' with the fishes now ...
