Bahamas Tiger Sharks Consume Human?

Although I dislike the source, I just looked at a web page detailing a live aboard recovering 3 out of 4 bodies from a capsized power boat near Memory Rock, site of the recent Abernathy shark dive death. The article was dated 5/30/08, but I have not seen any other reports of this incident.

These were not identified as dive deaths, just found by a dive operator, who witnessed the consumption of the fourth body. Just wondering if anybody else has any other details?

Now of to the regional board to see if there's any posting there.

I just googled it. Here is a link

I hope my mom doesn't see this story, I'm going on a Bahamas liveaboard this weekend.

There are lots of sharks around Grand Bahama. If a boat full of hamburger overturns, they will eat it. That's what sharks do. They clean the reef.
