A 44-year-old American tourist died this Monday after being attacked by a shark near Cable Beach, in New Providence, the main island of the Bahamas.
The victim, from the city of Boston, was paddle surfing with a family member in the area near the Sandals Royal Bahamian Resort.
A lifeguard went out in a rescue boat and was able to pull the two people out of the water, police reported to local media.
CPR was performed on the woman, but she had suffered serious injuries to the right side of her body.
Two weeks ago, a 47-year-old German tourist was also the victim of a shark attack while participating in a diving excursion off West End, on the island of Grand Bahama.
