LONDON: A 10m humpback whale spotted in the River Thames earlier this week has been found dead just east of London and will now be handed over to scientists for an autopsy.
"It was both poignant and a bit eerie really - road traffic was thundering overhead on the busiest motorway in Britain and oblivious to all the people in the cars and lorries there was a 10m long beautiful whale floating dead beneath them.""It was bigger than the patrol boat I was in, no doubt about it, and it was getting on for the length of the bigger patrol boat so I would say minimum 10 metres," Garside said.
Two other humpback whales have previously been recorded in the Thames and its wider estuary region, one in 2009 and one in 2013. Both of those animals died.
