Humpback whale found dead in Cupsogue Beach County Park in Westhampton

A humpback whale washed ashore and was found dead at the oceanside beach of Cupsogue Beach County Park in Westhampton early Sunday. A team from the Atlantic Marine Conservation Society arrived around 12:15 p.m. for an assessment, society officials said. A biologist is expected to perform a necropsy on Monday. This is the first large whale to strand in New York this year. Credit: Newsday / Mark Harrington
