Autopsy all the time. Then they take samples of various parts of the body, organs and brain for study and health issues relating to keeping whales in captivity. Once that is done, various science departments at colleges will offer money for specific bones.
The meat itself is ground for fish foods (mostly shark) that is to say they did not die of any specific illness.
The bones are also sold to China and Japan for use in their medicines.

That's a good question. I imagine that there would be an autopsy to find the cause of death, particularly to advance the health of other marine mammals that are kept in captivity.
The actual answer may depend on where the animal is (which country). If you'd like a definite answer (at least from one location) here is the link to the website of Sea World in Orlando Florida If you look at the links in the upper left, there's one for park information, and one of the links in that is a "Contact us". Why not ask the question of them - I'm sure someone associated with the park can give you an exact answer as to what happens.

i might want to of both make the whale right into a astounding meal for most in want, or basically became it to the sea, the position those animals belong. yet, regrettably, for most the 'god funds' is extra useful, so as that they save killing human beings. the different wild animal that even Bites any human beings is hunted until eventually that's killed, so why no longer this one? Bears, Mountain Lions, Cayotes, and so on are clean celebration of that. So why no longer whales? once the animal kills once, that's going to by no ability supply up from doing so. Animals do no longer belong in leisure Parks, or in Zoos, or in Circus, or in everywhere the position that's going to be constrained, with out Its own Nature and environment. besides a tragedy, doing so its barbaric and inhumane. We belong in communities, so the animals. so straightforward as that. i'm a 500% animal lover, and that i even volunteer to rescue them from abuse and overlook, yet with this so poor tragedy that animal doesn't belong in an section so on the brink of human beings. I heavy hand from the regulation is the only we want to offer up that non-sense.

They probably feed it to other fish, throw it back into the sea, or mush it up for chum to use for fishing bait

They will post mortem it, unconditionally, and then incinerate it.
Have a good one!
