WESTPORT, Mass. (AP) – A Massachusetts marine biologist who examined a 13-foot great white shark carcass found ashore near the Rhode Island state line wasn’t able to determine how the shark died, state officials said Sunday. State biologist Greg Skomal performed a necropsy on the 1,500-pound male shark Saturday. A fisherman discovered the carcass Saturday morning on a rocky shoreline in Westport, less than a half-mile from public beaches in Little Compton, R.I.
