The whale was first spotted stuck on a sandbank on 23 March, off the island of Poel on Germany's Baltic coast.
It swam free in early May after a water-filled barge carried it into the North Sea.
The operation was privately funded by two German entrepreneurs and spurred intense public debate, with critics suggesting it would only cause the animal distress.
A whale carcass was reportedly spotted on Thursday off the Danish island of Anholt, located between Denmark and Sweden.
