Not sure how this particular whale met its demise, but I'm guessing it probably should have been taking a statin.

"The whale was discovered wrapped around the bow of a tanker that had accidentally killed him back in 1998. KOBO’s carcass was eventually towed to shore and dissected for research and educational purposes."
