Hvaldimir was found with a 35cm long and 3cm vide stick lodged in his mouth. There was no evidence of a shooting being the case as you have all probably seen in media.

Confirmed by Onewhale via Instagram. This is so heartbreaking.

I am sorry to announce that Hvaldimir has passed. He was found in the sea today. There will be done checks on him to see what the cause of his death was. Announced in National Media half an hour ago.

Are there any updates on Hvaldimir? The NY Times article gives the impression he could have died.
" The next morning, he was nowhere to be seen. "

Recently, a large hook was found to be embedded in his tail fluke, with a large squid bait attached by a length of fishing line. This created drag which kept embedding the hook into his flesh. Fortunately, this line was eventually cut after a fair bit of planning and a couple tries, and has since resulted in the hook itself loosening and has allowed for hvaldi to either rub it off, or it fell out on its own.

Norwegian article about the case(with video):

In short, for those of you that don't read enchantment table language, the name change was a decision made by the team as "Hvaldi" (pronounced val-dee) has been used for a long time, and having the whale named after Vladimir Putin left a sour taste in our mouths these days.

I saw this article:

I don’t have access to it, does anyone know what it says?
