A German woman died after she was attacked by a shark while swimming beside her catamaran in high seas between Spain's Canary Islands and West Africa, a police spokesperson said on Wednesday. The woman, aged 30, was travelling on a catamaran that had sailed southbound from Gran Canaria island on Sept. 14. She was attacked by a shark that bit off one of her legs, the police said. Coastguards flew from Gran Canaria to the area, 514 kilometers (320 miles) south of the island, and evacuated her, but she died from the wound in the helicopter.
