Police look into drowning of 70-year-old woman

POLICE in Bimini are investigating the drowning of a 70-year-old woman who died while swimming at Paradise Beach yesterday—the island’s third drowning in just a week.

According to reports, a family member noticed the woman motionless in the water. She was pulled to shore, and CPR was administered, but efforts to revive her failed.

Her death follows two other recent tragedies. Over the weekend, a 46-year-old man drowned after his jet ski overturned, leaving him struggling to stay afloat.

Earlier last week, an 85-year-old snorkeller became unresponsive in the water and later died.

Police said investigations into these incidents are continuing.
