PORT DALHOUSIE - It was a cruel act of nature that killed at least 15 swans in Martindale Pond.

And the culprit — parasites from snails scarfed down by the birds along the Port Dalhousie waterway. That recipe for death began when the mute swans ate the small mollusks.

A bystander may have helped investigators pinpoint the cause.
