A dead blue whale has been found on a beach in northern Sri Lanka, the latest of several bodies of marine animals washing ashore in the past few weeks - a phenomenon that locals blame on the burning of a cargo ship last month.
The whale was found on Kayts island off Jaffna peninsula on Tuesday, said an official from the Marine Environment Protection Agency (Mepa).
