This another sad news story that a killer whale killed a trainer Wednesday afternoon at SeaWorld’s Shamu Stadium in Orlando, Florida, a public information officer for the Orange County Sheriff’s Office said.
The woman, 40, was in the whale holding area about 2 p.m. when “she apparently slipped or fell into the tank and was fatally injured by one of the whales,” Jim Solomons said.
But a witness told that the whale approached the glass side of the 35-foot-deep tank at Shamu Stadium, jumped up and grabbed the trainer by the waist, shaking her so violently that her shoe came
A SeaWorld employee who asked not to be identified confirmed the description of the attack and added that the whale involved is named Tillikum.
SeaWorld uses “Shamu” as a stage name for any of the male or female orcas in its shows.
“One of our most experienced animal trainers drowned” in the accident, said Dan Brown, vice president and general manager of SeaWorld Orlando. He said an investigation will be carried out.
“We’ll make our findings known in due course,” he said. “We’ve never in the history of our parks experienced an incident like this. All standard operating procedures will be reviewed.” He would not elaborate.
