Ed Bowlby (Olympic Coast Marine Sanctuary) watches as colleagues tow the body of the female transient killer whale CA 189 from the location her body was found. The body was towed to a nearby boat ramp where it was then pulled from the water and a necropsy (marine mammal autopsy) performed to determine cause of death.
