The orca whale named Tilikum is dying, reported Live Science on March 10. Tilikum is the notorious "killer whale" who turned real killer and drowned three people including trainer Dawn Brancheau in front of an audience at SeaWorld in 2010. Tilikum was profiled in the documentary "Blackfish." Blackfish posed the question that captivity at SeaWorld drove Tilikum mad and caused him to behave aggressively. Now the question is: did SeaWorld kill the killer whale by deprivations of captivity? Tilikum has a bacterial respiratory infection and is in great pain. But at 35, the orca has outlived many of his "in the wild" counterparts, experts say.
