ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) -- A SeaWorld Orlando trainer attacked by a killer whale died of drowning and blunt-force trauma to her head, neck and torso, an autopsy released Wednesday showed.

The report by the Medical Examiner's Office ruled Dawn Brancheau's official cause of death as drowning and traumatic injuries. Her death was ruled an accident, and toxicology tests found no drugs in her system.

They did it so the insurance rates do not have to go up for Sea World for insuring the trainers,lets any insurance policy of the deceased trainer pay off, and they dont have to put the Whale "out to sea".
