Search for sick killer whale J50 officially called off

The U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration has called off the active search for a sick killer whale that garnered international attention.
The southern resident killer whale known as J50 hasn’t been seen for several days and earlier in the week was presumed dead by a scientist, but NOAA and Fisheries and Oceans Canada hadn’t given up hope, until now.
“It seems like the window of time she would likely be alive has passed,” said NOAA spokesman Michael Milstein
