An endangered whale has died after getting stranded on a beach in a coastal enclave of New York City. Officials found the 60-foot finback whale dead today, says the National Marine Fisheries Service. The animal was first discovered yesterday morning beached on the bay side of Breezy Point, a beachfront neighborhood in Queens ravaged by Superstorm Sandy. The whale was alive but severely emaciated. It drifted away at high tide and washed ashore again this morning.
