    Third death On February 24, 2010, Tilikum killed Dawn Brancheau, a 40-year-old trainer. Brancheau was killed following a Dine with Shamu show. The veteran trainer was rubbing Tilikum as part of a post-show routine when the orca grabbed her by her ponytail and pulled her into the water.

    Similarly, what happened at SeaWorld with the killer whale? Tilikum, the orca that killed a trainer at SeaWorld Orlando in 2010, has died, his owners have announced. Trainer Dawn Brancheau died after Tilikum dragged her underwater by her hair and repeatedly struck her, as she performed with the whale in front of an audience.

    Also know, how many SeaWorld trainers have been killed by whales?

    (CNN) Tilikum, the killer whale involved in the deaths of three people, including SeaWorld trainer Dawn Brancheau in 2010, has died, SeaWorld reported Friday.

    When did trainers stop swimming with Shamu?

    The Occupational Safety and Health Administration issued citations against SeaWorld in 2010 after a trainer died during a killer whale show. OSHA recommended trainers stop going into the water with killer whales, also known as orcas, and have physical barriers between trainers and whales.
