Thousands Of Dead Prawns Washed Up On Beach

[The Straight Story]

Thousands of dead prawns have washed up on Chile's coastline leaving authorities confused about what could have killed them.

The chief investigator said police were compiling as much evidence as possible to determine what killed the vast number of crustaceans off Concepcion province.

"What we are doing today is compiling the most evidence possible to determine if we are facing some kind of environmental crime," a spokesman said.

Victor Casanova, of Chile's Environmental and Cultural Heritage Crimes Unit, said police were going to investigate a variety of possibilities in an effort to understand how the animals died.
