COPENHAGEN, Denmark - A humpback whale affectionately known as "Timmy," which had become stranded off Germany's Baltic coast and sparked a high-profile rescue effort, has been confirmed dead off the Danish island of Anholt, bringing to an end a controversial rescue attempt. The carcass, first spotted on Thursday as it was scavenged by seagulls, drew immediate attention in Germany as questions arose over whether it was the same male whale that had for weeks captivated the public's attention.
