Newlywed Killed by Shark A Day After Marriage in Bahamas

A newlywed woman from America’s Boston was killed by a shark in the Bahamas on Monday. The woman got married on Sunday (December 3).

According to authorities, the victim was in the water with a relative, when she faced the fatal shark attack near the Sandals resort on Cable Beach.

“Shortly after 11.15 am, police were notified that a female visitor from Boston, Massachusetts, USA, was subsequently attacked by a shark,” the Royal Bahamas Police Force said in a statement, according to Independent. “According to initial reports, the female – along with a male relative – were paddleboarding just at the rear of a resort in western Providence, some 3/4 miles out from the shoreline, when she was bitten by the shark.”

The woman suffered injuries to the right side of her body and died on the spot.

About 30 to 40 species of sharks can be found in the waters around the Bahamas.
