    Excerpt
    A whale has died in southern Thailand after swallowing more than 80 plastic bags, with rescuers failing to nurse the mammal back to health. The small male pilot whale was found barely alive in a canal near the border with Malaysia, the country's department of marine and coastal resources said. A veterinary team tried " to help stabilize its illness but finally the whale died" on June 1.
