The whale was still floating nearly a half-mile off of Seaside Park at about 1 p.m. on Wednesday, March 1.
A MMSC spokeswoman said whale experts were en route to the sighting of the dead humpback whale.
A necropsy is typically carried out to determine the mammal's cause of death, and center officials assist in the whate's removal/burial once it beaches.
A video of the floating whale was posted on Instagram by Seaside Park police.
