Whale washes ashore in Myrtle Beach then euthanized
A 13 foot pygmy sperm whale washed ashore at Myrtle Beach and was euthanized due to illness. Officials planned to send the animal to the National Ocean Service Lab in Charleston for analysis while Coastal Carolina University noted several annual beach strandings tied to illness and debris. Another report from Conway, SC notes a home invasion shooting left one man dead and another charged with burglary and attempted armed robbery.
