“Looks like it didn’t just die today, but I think it died not too long ago,” Song told the Richmond News.
“It had a slight odour, but it was not very strong. There was no sign, and not many people noticed it – perhaps they thought it was a piece of wood.
It’s not apparent how the seal died.
Where the dead seal was spotted according to a witness. (Richmond News)
Steveston Harbour Authority told the News the beach where the body was found is not in its jurisdiction, since Garry Point Park is the City of Richmond’s property.
The News still waits to hear about more information from the city.
