News Arrhythmia likely killed baby whale CP   2005-08-10 01:51:53   VANCOUVER -- Test results on the death of the Vancouver Aquarium's youngest beluga whale show Tuvaq was severely anemic when he died last month. But scientists have been unable to link the condition to the infant whale's sudden and shocking death in the middle of a pool on July 17. "It's only natural to try and say one is probably related to the other but there's no scientific basis for it and it has frustrated a lot of people so far," David Huff, the aquarium's veterinarian, told a news conference yesterday. Huff said the two-year-old whale likely died from some kind of heart arrhythmia.
