Six North Atlantic Right Whales have been found dead in the Gulf of St. Lawrence.
The Marine Animal Response Society fears the rising toll could be catastrophically critical for the endangered species. The deaths represent about 1% of the total Right Whale population still believed to be in the area.
The society joined an expedition of scientists to examine one of the dead whales at sea to collect biological samples in hopes of determining the cause of death.
A sentencing hearing will be held today for an Angel of Death in Ontario.
Family members of some of the victims of nurse Elizabeth Wettlaufer are expected to give victim impact statements. She murdered eight patients in her care. Both the crown and defence are recommending life sentences with no parole for 25 years on the eight counts to run concurrently. Wettlaufer said she believed she was acting as an instrument of God when she gave high doses of insulin to 14 patients…6 survived.
