58-year-old Pennsylvania Woman Killed in Bahamas Shark Attack while snorkeling with relatives.
A 58-year-old woman from Pennsylvania was killed in a shark attack Tuesday in the Bahamas, authorities say.
The woman, whose name was not released, was snorkeling with a group of five to seven relatives when she was attacked by a bull shark shortly after 2 p.m. at Green Cay, said Royal Bahamas Police Force Superintendent Chrislyn Skippings at a news conference.
The area is about a half-mile northwest of Rose Island, a private island off the coast of Nassau.
The woman had no vital signs after the attack, Skippings said.
She arrived in the Bahamas via Royal Caribbean's Harmony of the Seas cruise ship Tuesday morning, authorities said. A private tour boat took her group snorkeling off Rose Island.
The ship was on seven-night journey, a spokesperson for Royal Caribbean said. It left from Port Canaveral, Fl., on Sunday.
"Royal Caribbean is providing support and assistance to the guest’s loved ones during this difficult time," the cruise line company said in a statement to NBC News.
