An American tourist was killed by a shark in the Bahamas. The 44-year-old from Boston was standing on a stand-up paddleboard off the coast of a seaside resort on the island of New Providence, police said on Monday (local time).
“The victim suffered serious injuries to the right side of his body,” a news release said. An investigation has been launched.
The exact location of the incident has not been disclosed. A lifeguard brought the woman and a male relative back to shore and attempted to revive them, police said.
Tourism is an important sector in the Bahamas, which has 3,000 islands. Shark attacks are rare. A database used by the Natural History Museum in Florida to record shark attacks recorded 89 such incidents worldwide last year. According to the database, there have been 33 unprovoked forest attacks in the Bahamas since 1580. In 2019, an American tourist was killed by a shark while snorkeling. (sda/afp)
