Mystery: 1000s of Fish and Birds Wash Up Dead on N. Shore of Lake Erie [1]

"CLEVELAND -- The mystery deepens, as several agencies not only look for the reason why tens of thousands of fish washed up dead along the northern shores of Lake Erie, but seagulls as well."



"Rick Nicholls, Member of Provincial Parliament for the Progressive Conservative Party of Ontario, is an elected official who oversees part of the shore community where the fish washed up.

On Wednesday afternoon, Nicholls said that dead seagulls were also among the thousands of dead fish along the Canada shore."
