Over the last 35 years, America's most famous living killer whale
has shouldered a fraught history, emerging as the symbol of both orcas'
elegance and their capacity for violence. As the focus of the 2013
documentary Blackfish, Tilikum - affectionately called "Tili" - has been
at once regarded as a victim of captivity and a maker of tragedy.
On Tuesday, SeaWorld Orlando announced that that knotty story may soon be coming to a slow and quiet end.
The
marine park that has owned Tilikum for more than two decades said in a
statement on its website that he is suffering from an illness that may
likely take his life.
