Watch CBS News Tourist dies after losing her leg in shark attack while sailing off Canary IslandsSeptember 18, 2024 / 12:24 PM EDT / CBS/AFP A German tourist died after being bitten by a shark on Monday while sailing off Spain's Canary Islands , the coastguard said. The 30-year-old woman lost a leg in the attack and died of a heart attack later while being transported in a Spanish rescue helicopter, a coastguard spokesman told AFP. She was sailing in a British catamaran in the Atlantic some 278 nautical miles southwest of the island of Gran Canaria when the shark struck. She was attacked while swimming beside the catamaran, Reuters reported. Emergency services received an alert at 1255 GMT calling for a medical evacuation and sent a military plane and helicopter after also contacting the Moroccan coastguard. The woman was taken on board the helicopter in the evening around 1800 GMT and was bound for hospital in the Gran Canaria town of Las Palmas when she died, the spokesman said. Boat-tracking website vesselfinder.comindicated that the boat, the Dalliance Chichester, had left the port of Las Palmas on September 14. Shark attacks are rare, with a total of 69 confirmed unprovoked attacks worldwide and 14 fatalities reported last year , according to the International Shark Attack File, which is administered by the Florida Museum of Natural History and the American Elasmobranch Society. The report noted that a "disproportionate" amount of people died from shark bites in Australia last year when compared with other countries, and Australia accounted for about 22% of the world's unprovoked shark attacks in 2023. The deadly attack comes less than a month after a shark killed a 16-year-old high school student in Jamaica. In July, a surfer lost his leg after a great white shark attacked him in Australia. The month before that, surfer Tamayo Perry died after sustaining fatal injuries in a shark attack off the island of Oahu in Hawaii. In January, a young fisherman diving for scallops was killed by a shark off the Pacific coast of Mexico.

The 30 year old German national was airlifted to a Gran Canaria hospital by a Spanish Air Force helicopter but sadly succumbed to her injuries. She was officially pronounced dead upon arrival at Doctor Negrin Hospital in Las Palmas last night. It's reported that the shark bit off her leg while she was aboard a catamaran in international waters, some 278 miles south-west of Gran Canaria's airport and approximately 110 miles east of Dakhla city in the disputed territory of Western Sahara, currently under Moroccan occupation. The vessel she was crewing has been identified as the British-flagged Dalliance Chichester, which had departed from the Spanish holiday island on September 14. Spanish Coastguards reportedly informed their Moroccan counterparts and UK coastguards due to the origin of the catamaran. However, local reports suggest that Moroccan authorities declined to transfer the injured woman to Rabat for emergency medical treatment. The unnamed woman was pronounced dead just after 11pm yesterday following a cardiac arrest in the Spanish military helicopter. The shark attack is believed to have occurred around 4pm the same day. This incident follows a series of shark sightings in June that led to the closure of several Spanish resorts, with one resort forced to shut down mere hours after local officials had given tourists the all-clear to return, reports the Mirror . Bathers were swiftly ordered out of the water at Melenara Beach on Gran Canaria's east coast after a police drone spotted a hammerhead shark off the beach. The neighbouring Salinetas beach was next to follow suit, with Playa de San Agustin not far behind, as lifeguards raised a red flag just two hours later when a tourist snapped a photo of the unmistakable fin of a shark protruding from the water. One of the shark sightings was reportedly made by a tourist near a sea-facing restaurant named Balcon de San Augustin. Red Cross officials later confirmed they had also seen it. - Spain Travel
