Boston Woman Killed by Shark in Bahamas on Honeymoon

The incident marks the third shark attack in the area within six months, raising safety concerns.

Lauren Erickson Van Wart, a 44-year-old Boston woman, was killed by a shark while paddleboarding in the Bahamas on her honeymoon.
The shark attack occurred near the Sandals Royal Bahamian Resort in New Providence.
Van Wart was a supervising editor for Mathematics and was remembered by her boss as a 'beloved member of our math editorial team'.
This incident is the third shark attack in the area within the last six months, raising questions about the safety of water activities in the region.
Experts find the attack unusual as the types of sharks in the Caribbean would typically not go after something as large as a paddleboard.
