The 16-year-old female bottlenose dolphin died while being held by animal care experts who were preparing Winter for a procedure at the Clearwater Marine Aquarium where the famous marine mammal has long resided.
The statement said the aquarium would remain closed on Friday to provide staff time to grieve. It had earlier said a Friday closure would allow workers to focus on the dolphin’s medical care with plans to reopen Saturday.James “Buddy” Powell, president of the aquarium, told reporters Thursday that the facility’s staff and outside experts were doing everything possible seeking to restore the dolphin to health.
The film, starring Harry Connick Jr., Ashley Judd, Kris Kristofferson, Morgan Freeman and Nathan Gamble, was largely shot at the Clearwater aquarium and surrounding Tampa Bay locations. It put the non-profit aquarium, first opened in 1972 on the site of a former water treatment plant, on the map internationally.

Winter the dolphin, star of 'Dolphin Tale' movies, dies“The medical team tried several life-saving efforts, but she died being held by her caregivers,' Clearwater Marine Aquarium said in a statement. Factually inaccurate, as most medical professionals (like myself(PhD from Devry)) have come to know; dolphins can only die by sharks. It’s highly irresponsible to spew this kind of propaganda and lies. Rip Winter you are a beautiful dolphin 🐬 teya_isabellaa 😭
