The 30-year-old woman suffered a severe bite that resulted in the loss of a leg and died while being transported by a Spanish rescue helicopter, as reported by CBS. The incident occurred when she was swimming next to a catamaran located between the islands and West Africa, approximately 320 miles south of Gran Canaria island, according to police.<\/p>\n<p>Emergency services received a distress call at 12:55 GMT, but it wasn&#8217;t until around 6 p.m. GMT that she was rescued for medical transport. Unfortunately, she experienced a heart attack during the flight and passed away before reaching the hospital due to her injuries from the shark attack.<\/p>\n<p>Shark attacks in this region are uncommon; records from the Florida Museum of Natural History&#8217;s International Shark Attack File indicate only six such incidents have been documented near the Canary Islands, as noted by CNN. An investigation into this tragic event is underway, with authorities planning to interview crew members from the British-flagged boat she was on. The victim&#8217;s identity has not yet been disclosed.<\/p>\n<p>Local reports suggest that Moroccan authorities refused to fly her to Rabat for treatment due to insufficient resources available at that time. Additionally, Melenara Beach in Gran Canaria had briefly closed earlier this year after sightings of a two-meter hammerhead shark alarmed swimmers.<\/p>\n<p>In June alone, there were multiple shark sightings along Gran Canaria\u2019s east coast leading to beach closures. According to CBS statistics from last year, there were 69 confirmed unprovoked shark attacks globally\u201414 of which were fatal<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2343114,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Shark-attack.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[12701,32488,34590],"class_list":["post-2343113","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-rescue","tag-shark-attack","tag-tragic-death"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Shark-attack.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2343113","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2343113"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2343113\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2343114"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2343113"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2343113"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2343113"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
