A trainer got killed at the Florida SeaWorld following an attack by a male ‘Killer Whale’ on Wednesday. The authorities tried to depict her death of Dawn Brancheau 40-year-old occurred by falling into a whale-tank but the eyewitnesses revealed she was killed by orca “Killer Whale.”
The horrifying incident occurred at the famous SeaWorld entertainment theme park Florida in the presence of audience when a 12,300 pound male large fish orca “Killer Whale” just leapt out of its water tank, opened its huge mouth and returned to water; with its teeth gripped on the body of the poor trainer.
The Orlando theme park incident occurred on Wednesday and the entertainment park management and police later confirmed that Dawn’s death didn’t result off an accidental fall into whale’s pond as the authorities stated earlier, rather she was killed by Tilikum the huge male orca whale that attack the experienced trainer while the onlookers watching the whole thing.
The animal has been described as a 12,300 lbs orca and according to an executive at the SeaWorld Chuck Tompkins, confirmed later that it dragged Dawn into water thus before anyone could reach to help her; the poor trainer was already dead. Tompkins further added that the investigations are ongoing and eyewitnesses are being further questioned.
Dan Brown the Orlando entertainment park Florida general manager also confirmed the tragic death of Dawn Brancheau and described the same as “In an incident at our premises today, Dawn one of the experienced and senior most animal trainers, drowned following an unexpected attack by one of killer whales at the park.”
During his televised post-accident press conference Dan further explained that the SeaWorld parks face the most difficult times this afternoon.” It appears that this wasn’t for the first time that this particular male animal had attacked any trainer. One trainer and a spectator had already been killed by Tilikum in various past incidents.
