Tue, 2011-10-25
The Bermuda Police Service can confirm the sudden death of a 67 year old American visitor to the Island. Around 11:30am on Tuesday October 25th, police received a report of a medical emergency. It appears that the 67 year old woman was snorkeling in waters off the western end of the Island when she was discovered in an unresponsive state. CPR was performed and the victim was transported to King Edward VII Memorial Hospital via ambulance where she was pronounced dead by an on-call physician at 12:30pm. There do not appear to be any suspicious circumstances but an autopsy is anticipated. No further information will be released until the next of kin have been notified.
