The carcass of a female Bryde whale was found in the morning of September 26 at Sealine area. An environmental monitoring team from the Ministry then took samples and measurements of the dead whale in order to conduct necessary laboratory tests. The results of samples later showed that the whale died of starvation due to old age, inferred by the loss of its baleen, which is a filter feeding system inside its mouth used to strain seawater for food.
