You know that is the third death by that whale?
Yes, I know of two others, the first was with other whales and the second one should have earned the poor guy the Darwin award:
The first occurred in 1991 at the now-defunct Sealand of the Pacific park in Canada. Tilikum and two female whales drowned a 20-year-old marine biology student and part-time animal trainer in front of other staff members, according to the New York Daily News.
Then in 1999, Tilikum — who had been transferred to SeaWorld following the closure of Sealand of the Pacific — was found one morning with a 27-year-old homeless man on his back, also drowned, CBS Orlando 4 reported. The man had apparently remained hidden in the park until closing and then climbed into the tank or sneaked in after hours.
