A 55-year-old woman apparently lost both hands when she was attacked by a shark while attempting a selfie off Thompson Cove Beach at Turks and Caicos Islands last week, according to a report by the New Zeland Herald.

And pretty tragically, this woman had her hands bitten off by a shark after she reportedly ‘tried to take a photo of the animal ’. Named in local reports as Nathalie Ross, the Canadian was in the shallow waters off Thompson’s Cove Beach on the Turks and Caicos Island in the morning of 7 February when the attack took place.
