Animal rights groups said they had filed a complaint with Norwegian police asking them to open a 'criminal investigation.'

Animal rights groups on Wednesday said gunfire killed a beluga whale that rose to fame in Norway after its unusual harness sparked suspicions the creature was trained by Russia as a spy.The organizations NOAH and One Whale said they had filed a complaint with Norwegian police asking them to open a 'criminal investigation.

A third organization which also tracked the whale's movements, Marine Mind, said it found Hvaldimir's dead body floating in the water on Saturday around 2:30 pm .'There was nothing to immediately reveal the cause of death,' director Sebastian Strand told AFP. 'We saw markings but it's too early to say what they were.'He said some of the markings were probably caused by marine birds, but said there was no explanation for others at this stage.
