Tilikum the orca has died at 36-years-old.
The beloved orca killed his trainer seven years ago at SeaWorld in Orlando, Florida and was responsible for two other deaths in the 1990s.
His story featured in the documentary Black Fish exposed the horrific experience of orcas and other marine animals kept in captivity. Public response to the documentary helped change the world’s perspective of aquatic zoos and shut down SeaWorld’s orca shows for good.
