The viral video claiming to show Jessica Radcliffe's death by an orca attack is entirely fabricated. It portrays an event featuring a marine trainer named Jessica Radcliffe at a made-up venue called Pacific Blue Marine Park, where she is supposedly killed during a performance. However, thorough investigations have debunked this video, highlighting several facts:

- There is no evidence of Jessica Radcliffe’s existence; no records, employment details, or credible accounts support the claim that she was a marine trainer or involved in such an incident.

- The video in question is created using artificial intelligence, blending AI-generated voices with either manipulated or old footage to craft a false narrative.

- It contains sensational details, such as the attack being provoked by menstrual blood, aimed at enhancing the emotional response and viral potential of the story.

- This hoax draws on real-life tragedies, such as the deaths of trainers Alexis Martínez in 2009 at Loro Parque in the Canary Islands and Dawn Brancheau in 2010 at SeaWorld Orlando, which was featured in the documentary "Blackfish." These true events likely lent the video a semblance of credibility.

- No credible evidence or official statements support the video’s claims, underscoring its role as a stark example of how AI and social media can be used to propagate misinformation quickly.

In essence, the story of Jessica Radcliffe’s death is a fictional, AI-generated hoax without any factual basis, crafted to mislead and garner views by mimicking real orca attack incidents.
