21-year-old Jordan Linsdey, from California, was snorkeling near Rose Island on Wednesday noon when she was attacked by three sharks.
The Royal Bahamas Police Force said that the 21-year-old woman had shark bites on her arms, legs, and buttocks.
The authorities added that her right arm was bitten off by the sharks.
Jordan Lindsey was brought to a hospital in New Providence but was pronounced dead afterward.
During an interview with Michael Lindsey, the father of Jordan, he said that his daughter was snorkeling with his wife on another part of the island when the shark attack happened.
While speaking with ABC, he said, “My wife was near Jordan, a few feet away, when the shark attacked.”
“She said it happened so fast and no-one yelled anything.”
He added, “My wife got to Jordan and pulled Jordan to shore by herself. [She said] said no-one told her there were three sharks.”
The family of Jordan Lindsey has set up a GoFundMe page so they could raise enough money that they could bring the body of their daughter back to California.
Their GoFundMe page says, “Jordan Lindsey was a beloved daughter, sister, girlfriend, and friend. On June 26, 2019, Jordan was tragically killed from a shark attack in the Bahamas. Jordan had the most beautiful, gentle soul and she will be missed deeply. Jordan’s body needs to be transported from the Bahamas back to her home of California, which is very expensive. This gofundme is being set up to help Jordan’s family pay for any travel and funeral expenses for Jordan’s body. Any amount helps. Thank you.”
Investigators of the case believe that three sharks attacked Jordan.
The parents of Jordan said that they saw the sharks approaching and they even tried to warn her, but Jordan did not hear them in time.
