The incident involved a 58-year-old woman from Pennsylvania and occurred at a popular snorkeling spot near Green Cay in northern Bahamas, police spokeswoman Chief Superintendent Chrislyn Skippings told The Associated Press (AP). "It's unfortunate," she said. Skippings said the woman's family identified it as a bull shark. Royal Caribbean International said in a statement to the AP that the person died after arriving at a local hospital for treatment and that the company is helping
her loved ones. They said the guest was participating in an independent shore excursion in Nassau and had been sailing on Harmony of the Seas, which is on a sevennight trip after departing Florida on Sunday. The majority of shark attacks in the Caribbean have occurred in The Bahamas, with two reported in 2019, one of them fatal. That incident involved a Southern California woman who was on vacation and was attacked by three sharks near Rose Island, located just a half mile from where Tuesday's attack occurred. continues on B5 – Fatal Shark Attack
