An organic ‘deleterious material’ was discarded by an unknown party Jan. 4; investigation continues

An organic material was the cause of 19 eagles’ deaths at the Prince Rupert landfill, according to the city.

After landing on the pond, the city said it believes the material covered the eagles’ wings, eventually causing them to drown. “For clarity, the eagles landed on the pond and became coated in the substance and sadly drowned as a result. With current available information, this is believed to be their main cause of death.”
