A 30-year-old German woman died after a shark attacked her while she was sailing south of the Canary Islands. The incident caused her leg to be severed, leading to a cardiac arrest during her airlift to a hospital. While the specific shark species has not been confirmed, larger sharks like great whites are known to inhabit these waters. Shark attacks in the Canary Islands are very rare, with only a few documented incidents over the past century. Despite this tragic event, serious shark attacks remain uncommon in this region.
