WA Fish and Wildlife biologist reports that there was no significant finding for cause of death for “Alki”. She was “markedly thin” but had a few shrimp and crab parts in her stomach, and small lacerations on her flipper and nose. There was no visible evidence of worms or parasites, though oftentimes parasites are of a microscopic nature. Tissue samples were sent out for further study.
