Bob Schoelkopf, co-director of the Marine Mammal Stranding Center, said it died from pneumonia. And he says it's the same dolphin that had been observed coughing a few weeks ago.
Schoelkopf told the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration about the dolphin's condition.

However, the dolphin's death has some elected officials in New Jersey calling on the NOAA to intervene sooner rather than later.
