A newly wed husband got killed by a shark attack, a tragic story that anyone cannot escape. In line with my previous article http://thetravellernurse.blogspot.com/2011/08/august-1-shark.html, another victim of a shark attack ruptured this August.
Mr. Ian Redmond (the victim), and wife Mrs. Gemma Houghton had spent their honeymoon in Seychelles. Enjoying the richness of marine life in the island and the excitement of being newly weds had kept the couple happy. But one unexpected event happened, the wife took a sunbathing when she heard a shout of help coming from the sea. The victim was 20 yards offshore and attacked by an unmerciful shark. It was said that the victim was just snorkeling in the area but drastically the wild shark attacked him. He had lost his left arm and got a ripped left leg, with some bite wound on his stomach. He suffered severe blood loss and wasn't able to be revived by the rescuers.
This is a sad news and is really unforgettable. The Seychelles island which was designed to attract visitors but now it s hunted and everyone is afraid of. The previous shark attack was just the same month (August 1) when a Frenchman got killed with the same attack. Whilst the Seychelles authority tagged that a normal operation day and the death was not because of the shark. Now, they have nothing to hide. As a traveler nurse I am worried because of the downfall of the tourists to the island but really grieved for the loss of our brothers who are suppose to enjoy but did not acclaim the true worth of it.
Any place is a hazard. You should not think that only the islands has this but remember, anything can be dangerous. Your seatmate, classmate, neighbor, or others can be an instrument for something tragic, and it is up for us to take precautions. Tough one life is lost, still you need to move on. Be tougher, but take time. Do not motivate to cope well within a minute because losing someone is indeed a tough one. To the families that the victim had left, we would like to extend our condolence and we offer our prayers for them to recover then.
