Description
Elizabeth Mooney found the massive fish dead at Kenmore's Log Boom Park earlier this month. The sturgeon was over 80 feet long, about 70 years old and weighed 300 to 400 pounds.
Sturgeon are native to Washington and date back 200 million years on this planet. No one knows how many live here, but everyone here wants to know how this one died.
When scientists examined the carcass they found no evidence of injuries.
Initial thoughts are that it may have died from warming Lake Washington waters or perhaps a parasite, but at this point, no one knows.
