The naked body of Daniel 0. Dukes, a 27-year-old drifter from South Carolina, was found draped across the back of a killer whale in a tank behind Shamu Stadium at Seaworld Orlando on the morning of 6 July. He had apparently hidden in the Florida theme park after closing time and drowned in the cold, salty water of the 26 ft (8 mtrs) tank. The 14-year-old whale, named Tillikum after the Chinook Indian word for friend, and at 11,000 lbs (4,990 kg) the largest in captivity, may have played with Dukes' 180 lb (82 kg) body as if it were a toy. The post mortem showed one bite - in Dukes' groin - and that occurred after death when Tillikum ripped of his green shorts. The shorts were found at the bottom of the rank. Killer whales, also called Orcas, are not naturally aggressive to humans (Reuters - 6 July; AP, Knight Rider -July 8th, 1999).
