A US holidaymaker has died after being savaged by THREE sharks while diving in the Bahamas.
Tragic Jordan Lindsey, 21, from California, was snorkelling with Rose Island’s swimming pigs when she was cornered by the trio of tiger sharks.
Dad Michael watched on in horror as the fearsome tiger sharks tore off her right arm before taking chunks out of each leg.
He wept: “We already miss her so much. She was so caring. She loved all animals. It’s ironic she would die getting attacked by a shark.”
Jordan was declared dead at Nassau’s Doctor’s Hospital.
The attack is thought to be the first shark-related fatality in the Bahamas for over 10 years.
Eyewitness Jace Holton, 32, was on the same boat as Jordan – and even took a photo of the shark after the attack.
She told MailOnline: “About 45 minutes after [the attack] we snorkelled in that exact spot is when people ran on to our side saying a girl had been bitten by a shark and it look pretty severe.
How tiger sharks attack:
Tiger sharks are considered the world’s most dangerous shark after the great white and second only in recorded fatal attacks on humans.
They have their name because of their dark stripes down its body – mimicking a tiger’s pattern.
They can grow to be more than 16 feet in length – but typically reach 13 feet.
Their teeth are unique with very sharp, pronounced serrations and an unmistakable sideways-pointing tip.
Tiger sharks are solitary, nocturnal hunters.
It typically eats crustaceans, fish, seals, birds, squid, turtles, sea snakes, dolphins and even smaller sharks.
They live in tropical and temperate waters.
The predator is considered a near-threatened species.
“On my side of the island we didn’t see any. But everyone got out of the water and we were pretty scared.
“When we were getting back on the boat there were two small sharks still in the water and there was one large shark that I sent my brother a picture of that was still in the water.”
A State Department spokesperson said: “We can confirm a U.S. citizen in the Bahamas succumbed to her injuries following a shark attack on June
