Whale found wrapped around bow of cruise ship

It would be a lot more rotted if it was already dead. How does a whale that size just die without showing any siggns of injury?

I just don't believe that a ship going 20-30 mph is going to tag a live and healthy whale.

Old age? Starvation? Cancer? What usually kills whales? I'm sure whales don't start rotting the second they die, even if it was from an injury, it could have been dead for a couple of days.

It's a great shame. It's too bad that the ship didn't see the whale before it hit it. It's too bad

What was the ship going to do, swerve to miss it? Some people have just got absolutely no idea...
