Dead Dolphin Found In Dorset GardenA Marine engineer woken by a fishy smell was astonished to find a dead dolphin in his front garden.
Mike Elliott, 28, who lives half a mile from the sea, was shocked to find the mammal in his garden.
Mr Elliott and housemate Gary Harvey, 23, who live in Portland, Dorset, discovered the 3ft dolphin on a summer morning 2008.
Mr Harvey, also a marine engineer, said: "I woke up, looked out of my window and saw what appeared to be a dolphin in the garden.”
“I went downstairs to have a closer look and that confirmed it - there was a three foot dolphin in the front garden."
He continued: "I really don't know how it got there. I was pretty amazed. I thought I was dreaming to start with.
"There was no tidal wave and we live about half a mile from the sea quite a bit above sea level at the top of Portland."
The pair called police who made house to house enquiries before ruling no crime had been committed.
