The carcass could be seen from buildings in downtown Vancouver overlooking Burrard Inlet.

Officials have yet to confirm the carcass is that of a killer whale

The carcass of what appears to be a dead killer whale has washed up in Burrard Inlet next to downtown Vancouver.

Officials have yet to confirm the species of the whale, but Biggs killer whales, also known as transients, have been spotted in recent months heading through the busy harbour on their way to nearby Indian Arm, where they are known to prey on seals.
