The MIDWAY film project is a powerful visual journey into the heart of an astonishingly symbolic environmental tragedy. On one of the remotest islands on our planet, tens of thousands of baby albatrosses lie dead on the ground, their bodies filled with plastic from the Pacific Garbage Patch.

David Attenborough was right when he said "humans are a plague upon this planet" .roll on the pandemics

I very much doubt the plastic killed them , my surgeon told me plastic is the only material that does not degrade at all within the body . Of course blockages might possibly cause death but gulls with eat anything and are cannibals , why were the dead left to rot instead of eaten ?
