Tragically, a 26-year-old woman has died in a suspected shark attack while swimming near a popular beach in Mexico with her 5-year-old daughter.
Witnesses reported that when she was pulled from the water, her leg was missing and the rescuers attempted to save her life on the beach, but she succumbed to the massive bite wound and died from blood loss shortly after.
The woman, identified as Maria Fernandez Martinez Jimenez, was said to have placed her daughter on a floating play platform when she became aware of the danger. The attack occurred just 65 feet from the shoreline as a swimming race was taking place and the race was subsequently suspended.
The municipality of Cihuatlan, which includes Melaque Beach, issued a warning to locals and visitors to stay out of the water following the tragedy. Emergency service workers confirmed that the woman was the victim of a suspected shark attack.
The dead woman is believed to be a former marine biology student at the University of Guadalajara, and the university paid tribute to her, expressing their condolences for the irreparable loss. Well-wishers later left flowers at the spot on the beach where the woman died.
This tragedy serves as a reminder of the importance of safety when swimming in the ocean and the dangers of the unknown. Our hearts go out to the victim's family and friends during this difficult time.
