@Vebinz What you're thinking about is what dolphins & seals are known to do there also other marine life that do that as well. They ended up discovering that this whale had been hit by a large ship that ended up cracking it skull killing it the body drifted for days until it washed up here.
@Vebinz definately an accident, but you would be surpised at how often this sort of thing happens. Another one washed up around 5th street in Ocean City yesterday evening, but they aren't sure what the cause of death is quite yet. I know that these whales usually migrate this time of year, which increases the chances of them getting hit closer to the shore where boats are. :(
Don't whales beach themselves when they know they are dying?
Not sure where heard/read that before.

Thank you for the reply and up-date.
It must have been a terrible freak accident that a whale would get hit by a large ship.
Thank you.
