Officials have launched a probe into the unusual incident and urged the local public to abstain from eating the dead cuttlefish as doing so could lead to food poisoning, Chile's Cooperativa online media outlet reported.

Thousands of dead cuttlefish have been washed up on a popular beach in Chile, as shown by a video uploaded on the internet.

The incident occurred at the Bahia Inglesa Beach, a popular tourist spot, and it is feared that the occurrence could be linked to pollution or global warning.
