Norwegian Police: 'Spy Whale' Hvaldimir Died of Infection, Not Gunshot
Oct 4, 2024, 11:40 AM
Norwegian police announced on Friday that a beluga whale found dead off Norway's coast in late August, known as 'Hvaldimir' and suspected of being a Russian spy due to a harness it wore, died from a bacterial infection rather than gunshot wounds as previously claimed by animal rights groups. The whale, which reportedly had been trained by the Russian Navy for reconnaissance, had sparked media attention and concern among activists. Police investigations have confirmed that the cause of death was an infection, dispelling rumors of foul play.
