A Boston woman was killed by a shark while paddleboarding in the Bahamas on Monday, according to police.

The woman was paddleboarding at the Sandals resort, about three-quarters of a mile from shore when she was bitten by a shark, police said at a press conference. She was paddleboarding with a male relative.

After she was bitten by the shark, a lifeguard went out in a rescue boat and retrieved both the woman and her male relative.

“CPR was administered to the victim; however, she suffered serious injuries to the right side of her body, including the right hip region and also her right upper limb,” a Royal Bahamas Police Force officer said from the scene.

Emergency medical services responded and “thoroughly assessed” the victim.

“They declared that she showed no vital signs of life,” the police representative said.
