All About Keltie Byrnes Death



 On 20 February 1991, Keltie Byrne, a 20-year-old student and part-time killer whale trainer at Sea Land of the Pacific, slipped and fell into the whale pool after a show. The three killer whales Tilikum, Nooktam IV, Hadia II dragged and repeatedly submerged her until she drowned. Sealand of the Pacific closed shortly after the incident in November of 1992, all three of whales were sold to SeaWorld in the United States. Tilikum and Nootka IV went to SeaWorld Orlando, while Haida II and her baby Kyuquot went to SeaWorld San Antonio. As of February 2010, only Tilikum and Kyuquot were alive. There have been two further deaths at Sea World Orlando.
