Keiko, the killer whale that starred in the film Free Willy, has died in Norway at the age of 27, 18 months after he was returned to the wild.

The six-ton whale apparently suffered a sudden bout of pneumonia in the fjord where he had been living.

That's sad news. The poor whale stuck in captivity for nearly a quarter of a century and then when he finally get's free he gets ill.
Mother nature can be cruel.
