A 63-year-old woman is dead following the second unprovoked shark attack recorded in Maine's history
A member of a TV crew adjusts their camera while filming near the shore of Bailey Island, Maine, where a woman swimming off the coast was killed in an apparent shark attack Monday, July 27, 2020. PORTLAND, MAINE -- Authorities in Maine said Tuesday the woman killed in a rare shark attack off the state's coast was a 63-year-old resident of New York City.
The marine patrol said a witness saw Holowach swimming off the shore of Bailey Island when she was bitten. Two kayakers helped her get to shore and an ambulance provided further assistance, but she was pronounced dead at the scene, the marine patrol said. The kayakers were on the shore when one of them saw something breach, and realized something was wrong, Cooper said.
One of the kayakers grabbed the injured woman, and the other paddled to get her back to shore, said Cathy Piffath, the other co-owner. The kayakers asked not to be identified.
