A Pennsylvania woman died Tuesday after a shark attacked her while she was snorkeling on a family cruise in the Bahamas, authorities said.
The incident occurred at about 2 p.m. as the 58-year-old woman snorkeled with her family in Green Cay along with a local tour company, according to a report.
The snorkeling trip was an independent shore excursion separate from the family’s Royal Caribbean’s Harmony of the Seas cruise, according to the report.

The family and tour group employees were able to pull the woman from the water, but she was declared dead at the scene by emergency crews, according to the report.
She had suffered severe injuries to the upper body.
