This walrus became ill in October 2012, and although I am not aware of his death being publicly announced, there are images published in February 2013 which show a necropsy being performed on a young walrus at Changsha Underwater World. As he was by late 2012 the only living walrus at Changsha, I make the assumption that the deceased animal was likely Jieke.
