Mystery of the 'Spy Whale'

A beluga whale suspected of being a Russian spy has been found dead off the Norwegian coast.

The whale, nicknamed Hvaldimir, was first seen in Norwegian waters five years ago wearing a harness with a GoPro camera and a label that read 'Equipment of St. Petersburg'.

Experts believe Hvaldimir may have been trained by the Russian navy, but Russia has never officially confirmed this.

The cause of Hvaldimir's death is unknown, but a necropsy is planned to determine what happened.
