Hope it didn't suffer too much; wasn't there speculation that it was ill and that's why it left its pod and wandered upriver?

Oh, that's so, so sad.

That was my first thought, porpoise. What would cause convulsions in a whale?

I thought of you the minute I heard, essexjan. This really totally sucks. It was probably so freaking distressed with 20k people and helicopters and boats all around it that it couldn't take it. I"m totally bummed.

I was hoping that there would be a happy ending to this story. We could really do with something going right for a change.

RIP bottle nose. I hope you enjoyed your visit to the big smoke and the 15 minutes of fame. Did they tranq it for the journey?
