The two whales located on Monday bring the total number of the endangered species found dead in Canadian waters in 2019 to four. 

The whale - a 40-year-old female named Punctuation - was towed late Monday to Petit Etang, N.S., where pathologists from P.E.I.'s Atlantic Veterinary College were expected to examine the carcass.

An aerial survey team from the federal Department of Fisheries and Oceans discovered the body floating off the Magdalen Islands on June 20.
