Hvaldimir, a beluga whale that gained international attention in 2019 after being spotted with a mysterious harness, has been found dead in Norway. The whale, believed by some to be a Russian spy, was discovered near Risavika, close to Stavanger, on Saturday. The harness, which appeared to be designed for a camera, bore Russian markings, leading to speculation about Hvaldimir's origins and purpose. Despite these suspicions, the whale was known for its friendly behavior towards humans. The cause of death remains unknown, and efforts are being made to preserve the carcass.
