A post-mortem result of the dead whale, which was found beached at Sungai Sarang Buaya on Feb 9, revealed that its respiratory tract was filled with mud.   

According to Johor Fisheries Department director Munir Mohd Nawi, the mammal is believed to have been suffering from breathing difficulties when it was first rescued in Pontian a day earlier.
