MEXICO CITY — A Belgian vacationer was killed in an assault Thursday by both a shark or a crocodile at Mexico’s Pacific coast resort of Zihuatanejo, officers mentioned.
The civil protection workplace within the southern state of Guerrero mentioned a person and a lady have been bitten within the legs by an unidentified animal.
The person was reported useless on the scene, whereas the girl was taken to a hospital. State officers mentioned the person was from Belgium and the girl’s nationality was not instantly clear.
The workplace mentioned it was learning the injuries to find out whether or not they have been bitten by a shark or a crocodile, each of which inhabit the realm.
If confirmed as a shark assault, it might be the second such fatality this month on Mexico’s southern Pacific coast.
In early December, a Mexican lady died after she was severely bitten within the leg by a shark simply off the seashore city of Melaque, west of the seaport of Manzanillo.
In 2019, a U.S. diver survived a shark chew on the forearm in Magdalena Bay off the Baja California Sur coast.
