According to this site, this has been observed previously:
"There is evidence that suggests orcas may use tonic immobility to prey on sharks.
In 1997, in the waters around the Farallon Islands, a female Orca was observed holding a White Shark upside down for 15 minutes, causing it to suffocate. Whether intentional or not, the Orca likely caused the shark to enter tonic immobility."
