SEA WORLD TRAINER KILLED ORLANDO,FLA.



A sheriff's official said Dawn Brancheau, 40, was the trainer who was killed.

Emergency personnel were called to the park just after 2 p.m. and found a person dead, according to Orange County Fire Rescue spokesman John Mulhall.

The Orange County Sheriff's Office said deputies responded to the theme park after receiving a call that an employee had been attacked and injured in the "killer whale tank" in front of an audience.

Brancheau was a senior trainer at the theme park. She was pronounced dead at the park after being pulled from the tank, the sheriff's office said.

Jim Solomons of the Orange County Sheriff's Office said she fell into the tank and, "this appears to be an accidental death."
Rest in Peace Dawn. It takes a special person to work with any creature.
