The part on whales remind me of the dolphins they found dead here, in the Mauritian seas. The Ministry of Environment stated that the deaths were not due to pollution. But what other thing will cause this?

Hi its usually caused by pollution, but there are mass whale beachings as well, and we don't always undersand why. Its thought that some could be because of navy sonar, confusing their own signals. If I see a story on that I will certainly mention it. I do remember some stuff last year about sonar being banned by the supreme government in the US because of this, but the navy continued anyway.
