No staff member jumped in the water or mobilized to help. No spotter or lifeguard was present. When a boat arrived, no medical or emergency supplies were onboard. All that the staff provided were towels.
Jordan Lindsay, a 21-year-old Torrance student, was attacked and killed by sharks in the Bahamas.
Lindsey’s family was on vacation when the June 26 attack occurred. The Torrance residents had booked a day trip to Rose Island, northeast of Nassau, through Sandy Toes — a tour company known for its snorkeling adventures with pigs.did any tour guide staff jump into the water or mobilize to help in any way. No spotter or lifeguard was present, and once Lindsey’s mother was able to drag her daughter out of the water, no first aid kit was available.
Lindsey’s arms, legs and buttocks were bitten, and her right arm was severed, said Paul Rolle, deputy commissioner for the Royal Bahamas Police Force.Despite the severity of the attack, the family said the beach side of the island was not evacuated. Lindsey’s father, siblings and longtime girlfriend learned of what happened from people on the beach, rather than directly from the Sandy Toes staff.
“Our family hopes that this statement will serve as a warning and an appeal for greater regulations to be imposed in the Bahamas to ensure a tragedy like this does not happen again. We would not be able to live with ourselves if we didn’t speak out and later hear that another family suffered the same devastating loss.
