'Timmy,' the whale that captivated Germany, confirmed dead off Denmark

A humpback whale, affectionately known as "Timmy," has been confirmed dead off the Danish island of Anholt. The whale's identity was confirmed through a GPS tracker attached to its carcass, matching one installed by a private initiative that transported the animal into the North Sea. The whale was initially stranded off Germany's Baltic coast and sparked a high-profile rescue effort, with marine experts warning of its poor condition and little chance of long-term survival. The carcass lies off the Danish island, with no plans to remove it.
