A rumor circulated online in August 2025 claiming an orca — also known as a killer whale — fatally attacked a marine trainer named Jessica Radcliffe in front of a crowd. According to the story, Radcliffe was living out her childhood dreams training killer whales.

A video that is now going viral on social media shows a marine trainer named Jessica Radcliffe allegedly being attacked and killed by an orca, sparking widespread concerns. The footage seems to capture a violent incident at a marine park during a live show.

The hoax was generated by AI and has all of the signs of being computer generated, starting with the fact that the story would have made national news.
