Russian ‘spy whale’ in Norway wasn’t shot dead, likely died of bacterial infection
A beluga whale near Norway, speculated to be a Russian spy, did not die from gunfire, but from a bacterial infection, according to Norwegian police.
The final autopsy by Norway's Veterinary Institute determined that the cause of death was a bacterial infection possibly from a wound caused by a stick.
Authorities found no evidence of foul play or gunshot wounds, leading to no criminal investigation, stated Amund Preede Revheim.
