British mother dies rescuing sons from strong current in Bahamas

A British woman died on October 20 after she tried to save her two sons in the sea near Bimini in the Bahamas. The family was visiting from a cruise ship when a strong current pulled both boys away while they were snorkeling. The woman jumped in to help them, but the current swept her away too. Rescuers pulled her sons to safety. She was taken out of the water at the North Bimini Ferry Dock, where people tried to revive her with CPR. A doctor at a local clinic later pronounced her dead. She was 36 years old. Police found no signs of foul play. The Bahamas weather service had warned of near-gale conditions that day. An autopsy will be carried out to find the exact cause of death.
