THOMPSON COVE BEACH, Turks and Caicos Islands (WKRC) - A woman
reportedly lost her hands to a shark attack while she was trying to take
a selfie with the large creature.
According to The New Zealand Herald, the woman was reportedly a
55-year-old Canadian tourist visiting the Thompson Cove Beach in the
Caribbean.
The woman reportedly "attempted to engage" the 6-foot-long shark, at
which point the animal attacked her and seriously injured her hands. The
outlet reported that the woman needed to have one of her hands amputated
below the wrist and her other arm was amputated halfway up her forearm.
Other beachgoers saved the woman from an even worse fate, with her
husband scaring off the shark after the attack and strangers gathering
around her and using their clothes to slow the bleeding.
According to authorities, the woman was specifically attempting to take
a photo of or with the shark.
Authorities also said they believed the shark was a bull shark.
