On Monday morning officials will tow the whale from Barnegat Bay to a New Jersey state park where they will perform a necropsy to determine the cause of death.

In Barnegat Bay, a 20-foot minke whale was killed after colliding with a boat, and sending a passenger into the water.

A minke whale died Saturday in a Jersey Shore bay a short time after videos showed it collide with a boat, nearly capsizing the vessel and throwing a person overboard.
