The juvenile sperm whale was found around 6:45 a.m., the Baltimore Sun reported.
The Marine Animal Rescue Team from the National Aquarium was sent to assess the whale's condition, WJZ reported. They said around 1:30 p.m. that it had died.
The Maryland Department of Natural Resources and Ocean City police will remove the marine mammal from the beach. Researchers will then conduct a necropsy to determine its cause of death.
"As you can imagine, this has been a challenging day for not only Aquarium responders and partners, but all those on the beach throughout the morning," an aquarium spokesperson told the Sun.
