A whale has died after it charged at a boat Saturday afternoon along the Barnegat Bay in Ocean County, New Jersey, police said.

The minke whale, who repeatedly slammed into the boat, did not survive. A necropsy is being performed to determine is something was wrong.

A 20-foot Minke whale stranded in very shallow waters in Barnegat Bay this weekend in the Jersey Shore area later died before marine rescuers could make it to the distressed whale.
