Timmy, the young humpback whale who was stranded for weeks in shallow waters, has been found dead just off Denmark’s coast, according to the Danish Environmental Protection Agency, just weeks after a controversial rescue effort set him free.

It was not immediately clear if the whale was Timmy, the humpback whale that captivated Germany for weeks while getting stranded multiple times off the German coast.

Timmy- whose health had severely deteriorated after being stranded near Germany since March - was released on May 2.
