The death of Jordan Lindsay, a student at Loyola Marymount University (LMU), was confirmed to reporters by her father, writes NBC Los Angeles.

“Her name was Jordan Lindsey...we miss her so much already. She was so caring. She loved all animals. The irony is that she died from a shark attack,” said Michael Lindsey.

He said that Jordan was born and raised in Torrance, where she graduated from high school.

She was a dedicated animal protector, and moved to Loyola Marymount University from Santa Monica College, the LMU said, where they plan to install a memorial plaque in memory of Lindsay.

The attack came very quickly when Jordan and her mother, Kami Lindsay, were snorkelling. The girl's mother did her best to bring the wounded daughter to the shore, but the 21-year-old woman lost too much blood, so her life could not be saved.

The royal police of the Bahamas confirmed that a shark attack "led to the death of an American tourist."

“Preliminary information indicates that an adult female was snorkeling near Rose Island when she was attacked by sharks. The woman was brought ashore and taken to hospital, where doctors pronounced her dead,” the police statement said. The department clarified that the attack occurred at about 14:00 on June 26. Investigations are ongoing.

The Ministry of Tourism and Aviation of the Bahamas expressed its “deepest condolences to the family and loved ones of the victim.” The ministry also issued warning recommendations to the public in connection with the incident.

The family organized a fundraising on the portal GoFundMe to pay the costs of transporting the body and the funeral of Jordan.
