Timmy the humpback whale found dead off Danish coast, ending rescue saga
Timmy, the young humpback whose rescue drew global attention after being stranded in Germany and later released near Denmark’s Anholt Island, was found dead off the Danish coast weeks later. Danish authorities confirmed the whale’s identity via a recovered tracking device and noted the animal had weakened health from Baltic Sea conditions. The incident followed a controversial privately funded rescue attempt; there are no plans to remove the carcass, and officials urged the public to stay at a safe distance for health reasons.
