SeaWorld San Diego announced the passing of Freeway, the beloved sea lion known for his wanderings around San Diego. He had contracted a progressive disease that caused his health to deteriorate over time, and despite extensive treatment, the park made the difficult decision to euthanize him to prevent suffering. Freeway had become a beloved figure in the San Diego area, and SeaWorld thanked the care and rescue teams for their hard work in trying to save him.
