After the body was found, a Lavallette Public Works Department crew came to carry it away. The Marine Mammal Stranding Center in Brigantine confirmed to Shorebeat that a technician from the Brigantine-based center was on his way to Lavallette to pick up the body so the exact species could be confirmed and a necropsy could be performed.
