Are you allowed to eat an animal that died naturally? Say... a dolphin that swam to close to the propellers?

A dolphin (or manatee) that got too close to a propeller didn't die a natural death--in your hypothetical situation, the dolphin would be killed by human carelessness at best.
I would not eat an animal that truly died of natural causes because it likely would be diseased (not that the meat that is killed for you isn't). That's just disgusting.

Vegans don't eat dead animals, no matter how they came to be that way. For most of us, Suffering+Pain+Death = Not Appetizing, to say the least.
As a side note, dying by boat propeller isn't exactly a natural way to go.

Nope, you are still consuming an animal regardless of the fact that it died naturally. If you were a vegan I think you would know this.

NO! not at all! god that's so sick!
i think you're missing the whole point of what a "vegan" is
and how is it natural for a dolphin to die from a propeller!

No... would you eat a human if it died of natural causes? I don't see anything that has emotions and can feel pain as a type of food, regardless of how it died.

An animal is an animal.
I don't like meat. When I was a kid my parents even put me on a all meat menu for two days.
The doctor told them " When the boy is hungry enough, he will eat." After two days with no food--I got vegetables back on my plate.

I'm "allowed" to eat whatever I want. I choose not to eat animals because I think it's disgusting and wrong. You can have my share of the roadkill.

Vegans are "allowed" to do whatever they want. Veganism is a choice, not a forced restriction.

Nope. Eat a dead animal become a dead animal. Karma in action.

No, not even if it begged me to eat it before it committed suicide.
Would you eat your grandma if she fell down the stairs and died?
If someone eats any animal flesh/parts, even if they are chocolate covered ants, they aren't even vegetarian.
