The death brought a sad end to weeks of efforts to guide the whale back to its natural habitat, which culminated with the mammal being transported to the North Sea in a barge.

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.
