Its stomach was filled eith 30 plastic bags, and many smaller pieces of plastic. ... The whale was emaciated, and scientists believe that the plastic had gathered in such an amount in its stomach that it had created a plug, stopping the digestive process.

The cause of death appears to be starvation, though that's under investigation. Many of the stranded whales in 2019 have been malnourished, said David Weller, a research wildlife biologist with NOAA's Southwest Fisheries Science Center in La Jolla, California.
