Tragedy struck in the Bahamas after a 21 year old woman from Torrance, California was attacked by 3 sharks.
The young woman, who was identified as Jordan Lindsey, was vacationing with her family and they were all doing a snorkeling excursion near Rose Island. Lindsey was a college student at Loyola Marymount University.
CBS Reports:
Sharks have killed a Southern California woman vacationing in the Bahamas. CBS Los Angeles said Lindsay’s parents and other family members saw the sharks and tried to shout a warning to her, but she didn’t hear them in time. Officials told the AP that Lindsey was bitten on the arms, legs and buttocks, and her right arm was severed.
She was pronounced dead at a hospital, but it was not immediately clear if she died at the beach or en route to the emergency room.
A statement on the family’s GoFunde page, where they were trying to raise $25,000 to cover the costs of repatriating Lindsay’s body, described her as having “the most beautiful, gentle soul” and said she “will be missed deeply.”
A statement issued early Thursday morning by Timothy Law Synder, the President of Loyola Marymount University, said Lindsey was a communication studies major at the university. Synder said Lindsey was a “devoted animal lover and climate change advocate.”
