The stranded humpback whale has aroused great interest and many visitors came to Mellby to study the large animal up close.
Desirée Sjöström, who is a biologist and lives on Öland, hopes that an autopsy will eventually be able to explain why the whale died and why it ran aground in the Baltic Sea.

The municipality consults experts
How it will be with a possible autopsy is currently unclear.
Mörbylånga municipality is responsible for handling the dead animal in some way, but could not say on Wednesday how it will happen.
The municipality's response is that talks are underway with various experts, including the police and the Swedish Veterinary Institute, SVA.
