A British mother died while trying to save her two sons from strong currents during a snorkelling trip in the Bahamas.
A British woman died during a tragic accident in the Bahamas this week. She tried to her two young sons from drowning.
Meanwhile, local police in Bimini started an investigation into the incident. The tragedy occurred on Tuesday near the island's southern point.
Reports suggest the family went snorkelling together. A powerful ocean current suddenly pulled the two boys away from the group.
As a result, the mother jumped into the water to help her children. The dangerous current also pulled the woman under.
Later, rescuers managed to pull the two boys to safety. They also recovered the woman from the water after the incident.
However, the woman remained unresponsive during the rescue. People took her to the North Bimini Ferry Dock for emergency care.
After that, medical teams rushed her to a local clinic. A doctor there officially pronounced the thirty-six-year-old woman dead.
Next, officials confirmed that the victim likely lived in Stapleford, Nottinghamshire. Police are currently working to finalize their report.
Still, investigators do not suspect any foul play in this case. They plan to perform an autopsy to determine the exact cause.
Finally, the Foreign Office offered condolences to the grieving family. They continue to provide support during this very difficult time.
