Family questions emergency response after fatal Rose Island shark attack
A June 2019 snorkeling trip ended with a visitor being killed by a shark. Her family questioned the emergency response, saying staff did not enter the water to help and that first-aid supplies and treatment were unavailable. Sandy Toes disputed criticism of its response, saying its staff acted swiftly, followed established procedures and took reasonable preventive measures. The linked report presents the family’s allegations and the operator’s position, not a finding of negligence.
