This footage from 2010 shows SeaWorld trainer Dawn Brancheau's final moments alive before she was pulled into the jaws of an orca named Tilikum and tragically killed.

Her body was thrashed about over the course of XX minutes while the horrified crowd helplessly looked on.

The autopsy report said that Brancheau died from drowning and blunt force trauma. 

Her spinal cord was severed, and she had sustained fractures to her jawbone, ribs, and a cervical vertebra. 

Her scalp was completely torn off from her head, and her left elbow and left knee had been dislocated.

Of the four fatal attacks by orcas in captivity, Tilikum was involved in three. Tilikum died in 2017.
