Denmark to autopsy 'Timmy' the whale

Scientists will conduct an autopsy on "Timmy", the humpback whale whose ordeal to return to the open seas captured Germany's hearts and sparked a media frenzy, Denmark's environmental protection agency said on Thursday. Dubbed "Timmy" in Germany, the whale died after being transported into the North Sea off Denmark aboard a barge and released on May 2 in a last-ditch rescue operation to save the cetacean, which had struggled since beaching near the German coast.
