Awww. ..sucks. My boys and I made it to the Oregon Coast Aquarium in 1998 just before they moved him to Iceland. We got to watch him playing around with huge tractor tires and stuff underwater. I was filming the underwater stuff when he decided he needed to go potty. The boys still tell the story of all the parents explaining to their kids that the six foot long dangly thing was his weewee. Yes, he really freed his willy ;)

Based on the info in the article, for having spent most of his life in captivity, he outlived normal expectations. Also states he went very quickly.

We're priviledge to live in an area where there are over 70 resident orcas in 3 major pods. I have been on several whale watching trips and even had them come right up to my boat (when I had it). They are some of the kewlest creatures on the planet.

Iceland Terrorists killed my buddy.

RIP Keiko.

Saw him a lot in Newport when he was here.
Used to cut class at OSU and chill with the large fish like mamal back in the day.

Wow, I had no idea they let him free in 2002.

I knew they let em out of his pen out in the ocean to freely swim around in Iceland, but thought he was just living in Iceland.

Had no idea they let him totally free and he went all the way to Norway!!

According to the article the government or powers that be in Norway prohibited people from playing with or approaching Keiko..

They also say and know the whole purpose of Keiko's journey to Norway was for human contact, something he embraced there until they put a stop to it..

A few months later he dies...

Go figure..

Maybe he was lonley. He loved people.

He needed them.
