The whale was confirmed to be 18.7 feet in length and "was fairly decomposed and missing many internal organs, including the reproductive organs, therefore the sex could not be determined," according to the AMCS, which has sent tissue samples to a pathologist to attempt to determine cause of death. The results of the pathology testing could take several months.
