PALM COAST, Fla. --
A 21-foot killer whale died after beaching itself on the Atlantic coast in central Florida Wednesday, authorities said.

Crews from the Hubbs-SeaWorld Research Institute, the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission and the sheriff's office were on hand to help remove the carcass so that a necropsy can be performed, Messod Bendayan, a spokesperson for the sheriff's office, said in an email.
Video posted by the sheriff's office showed the orca laying on its side as waves splashed against it.
