The whale was “severely emaciated” — it only weighed half of what it should — and beached itself because it was very sick, marine biologist Kim Durham told Newsday.

Earlier this month, a 40,000-pound fin whale that washed up on a Malibu beach created a headache for lifeguards and local officials as its body started to decompose.
