“A dugong which captured the hearts of Thailand has been found dead with pieces of plastic in its digestive system.

“The animal – a type of mammal that is sometimes thought to be the source of the mermaid myth – had become nationally famous after it was “adopted” by the public when it was discovered alone, without its parents.
