Local photographer Amie Medeiros captured a picture of the shark on Saturday afternoon, lying sideways while preserved in the ice around it.

"We do not know why it died which is why we investigate strandings to try and determine cause of death." "It was startling, this frozen giant looking bloody and helpless," she told Newsweek.
