But he also said he can not know for sure.There is no autopsy planned, but the carcass will be analysed to search for wounds, and some tissue samples will be taken.Ziani said: "We are not going to do an autopsy, as this would be very complicated.

However, we will take some measures, see if there are any suspicious traces on the body."The beach has now reopened to the public.READ MORE: Violent monkeys invading homes and attacking babies in campaign of terror 'Half-man, half-dog' creature terrified fisherman as it stalked river baffling experts Clairvoyant animals who guess winners from Lionesses' meerkats to psychic pig Outrage as 100 bottlenose dolphins slaughtered with spears turning bay bloody red Husky with taped-up mouth left in boiling car while.
