Happened while snorkeling on vacation in the Bahamas. Beleived to be 3 sharks, tore one arm off and mutiple bites to the other, legs, etc. Her mother pulled her to shore. Could not fucking imagining something like that happening to any of my children, let alone in front of me. Terrible. :(
An American woman has died after she was attacked by sharks while snorkeling with her family in the Bahamas, authorities said.
Jordan Lindsey, 21, of Torrance, California, was swimming in waters near Rose Island when she was bitten by multiple sharks, local police said in a statement.
Investigators initially said they believed there were three sharks involved.
"Myself, my two boys, and Jordan's girlfriend, Gianna, were on another part of the island, just swimming on the beach side," Michael Lindsey, Jordan's father, recalled. "My wife, Kami, and Jordan went snorkeling on another part of island. My wife was near Jordan, a few feet away, when the shark attacked.
"She said it happened so fast, and no one yelled anything. My wife got to Jordan and pulled Jordan to shore by herself. The medical staff said they still had to do an autopsy. My wife said no one told her there were three sharks."

"A devoted animal lover and climate change advocate, Jordan transferred to LMU from Santa Monica College," the letter continued.

Probably bull sharks. They are all over those waters and pretty ducking aggressive.
