The tragic incident happened on Monday morning, Dec. 4, at 11.15am local time in the Bahamas. The woman, who remains unidentified, was a newlywed who was attacked and killed by a shark while paddle boarding at a Sandals resort, just one day after her wedding. The location of the attack was very close to the luxurious Sandals Royal Bahamian Resort. Shocking images and footage later emerged showing the victim’s lifeless body being transported back to the shore on a stretcher before being loaded into an ambulance.

According to reports, the victim sustained severe injuries on the right side of her body. Despite CPR attempts, the woman did not show any vital signs of life. A police statement revealed that the shark attack occurred while the woman and a male relative, believed to be her husband, were paddle boarding just at the rear of a resort in Western New Providence, around 3/4 miles out from the shoreline.

A witness, a jet ski operator, mentioned seeing the attack from the shore. He stated that it took a couple of hours to bring the woman in, and a wheelchair was brought to collect the man believed to be her husband. The lifeguard on duty, upon noticing the situation, used a boat to rescue both individuals, but unfortunately, the woman’s injuries were fatal.

The specific type of shark responsible for the attack was not immediately confirmed, although tiger sharks and bull sharks are known to inhabit the waters off the coast of the Bahamas.
