A tragic incident occurred in the Atlantic Ocean near the Canary Islands, a Spanish archipelago off the northwest coast of Africa, where a 31-year-old German national lost her life in a shark attack. The attack, which resulted in the woman losing a leg, took place on Monday and was confirmed by a spokesperson for Spain’s Guardia Civil on Wednesday.
Following the attack, the victim was airlifted to a hospital on the Canary island of Gran Canaria for medical treatment. Unfortunately, despite efforts to save her, she passed away at the hospital. The location of the shark attack was approximately 514 kilometers south-southwest of Gran Canaria and 180 kilometers west of the city of Dakhla, Western Sahara, as reported by Spain’s sea search and rescue agency Sasemar.
