Quantcast The Sandspur
College Media Network

On Page 1 of the February 26, 2010 issue of The Sandspur, the following sentence was published: "Reporter Mike Holfeld died from an attack in 1999 as did a 20 year old trainer who had fallen into his tank in 1999." We retract this statement. Mike Holfeld did not die in 1999 nor was he involved in a Tilikum incident. Mike Holfeld is a WKMG reporter who reported on the Tilikum story. Further, a 20-year-old trainer was not killed in 1999. In 1999 a man died after sneaking into SeaWorld and was found in the tank which held Tilikum.
