It will more than likely be sold off to another display along way away and given a new name etc. Sounds like that is exactly what happened after the first time it killed when owned by another sea life venue in North America.
It shouldn't be destroyed and it can't be rehabilitated back into the wild so it will end up having a miserable life moving from display to display across the World.

They're wild animals: we will never totally understand or be able to predict their behaviour 100% If you work with them, (even in a controlled environment) you take your chances.
The trainer knew that - and died doing something she loved and in the process inspired love and admiration for a remarkable species that 99% of the time shows a curiosity and placidity towards us bite sized humans that betrays their name and fearsome reputation in wild.
RIP and condolences to her family and friends.

^^^ the same goes for any animal that is strong enough to do serious damage or kill people. No one should ever trust their pet dog for the very same reasons, you can not predict what any animal will do or what it will take to make them turn out of 'character'. No matter how good my dog is with my kids I will never leave her own her own in the same room as my kids. No one should.

It doesn't matter how long you've had it or how well behaved or loyal it is, dogs are prone to having triggers that turn them into a different beast with devasting results. Thankfully it is a rare occurence but you will never know about a trigger until it is too late and for that reason you should not trust a dog any more than any other animal that could do serious damage to a person.
Just as an example, a dog at a rehoming/rescue centre I was involved with sometime ago was in there because it ripped it's owners face off. A much loved loyal pet which went beserk when the owner accidentally rubbed it's ears a certain way and that turned out to be a trigger that caused it to visciously attack its owner.

A killer whale means dollars
A killer whale which actually kills means mucho dollars
Of course he will be on show again and the owners must think all their Christmases have come early with free worldwide publicity
Very sorry to hear about the trainer of course.
