Orca’s death sad, but part of life cycle

It is always sad when a Southern resident orca dies. However, it is part of the nature of life and death. And she was near the older range of an orca lifespan.

The article stated she was 35 years old. Perhaps the AP reporter didn’t take math in college. If born in 1974 the Orca would be 47 years old.
