This incident marks the third occurrence of a whale washing up on the shores of the Tri-State region in a mere span of four days. During the weekend, a lifeless whale was found on the Jersey Shore. This lifeless creature was spotted by vigilant lifeguards off the coast of Long Branch on a Saturday afternoon.
