Cause isn't fully known yet, but as LPC mentioned it is thought that the build up of toxins may have caused the death of the baby causing an infection in Rhapsody which killed her. Not nice at all

Similar reports are coming from Antarctica (namely at the moment McMurdo station) about the build up of PPCP's and sewage contaminating fish, clams, urchins etc which could then build up in animals that eat these things. http://www.theguardian.com/world/2014/de...are_btn_fb
Of course humans are to blame. Don't see many whales shampooing their hair
