A captive manatee in Florida is dead, but his demise is one whale of a tale — basically, poor Hugh the manatee had rough sex … with his brother, Buffett. Yes, it was death by buffett.
The necropsy report from the USDA, first published by ABC7, says Hugh’s fatal injury was a 14.5-centimeter rip in his colon, which was caused by a sexual encounter with his larger brother.
Following their first encounter, researchers found blood in Hugh’s colon, but apparently, the 2 manatees kept going at it throughout the day … with only occasional rest periods.
While the USDA says the aquarium failed to protect Hugh before his death, the facility is defending its actions.

Hugh and Buffett lived together for 27 years in the same pool, and were the only manatees in the aquarium.
