This is the story of a necropsy and the clues it revealed, one by one, about what ended the life of a young humpback whale. It died in May off the north Oregon coast. A necropsy of a stranded whale provides a rare glimpse into the life of the animal, its species, and the marine ecosystem on which it depends. Autopsies on humans help divulge the cause of death and contributing factors. Similarly, a necropsy of a marine mammal helps researchers unravel what affected the animal in the final weeks and days of its life.

People experiencing homelessness around Denver can sometimes be seen with these bloody, weeping wounds. I recently mentioned this phenomenon to a fentanyl user who told me about the xylazine connection.
