A 60-year-old woman from Washington was likely killed by an 'aggressive' shark as she and her husband snorkeled 50 yards from shore near Maui, officials say. FOX13
The eyewitness "saw the shark’s large mouth continuing to feed on something in the middle of the red cloud in the water," officials said.
The incident was concluded to be a "tragic accident" that was "exacerbated not only by not having their loved one’s body recovered, but by misinformation which spread quickly on social media platforms, suggesting that this was something other than what it was," the release reads.

The woman’s name has not been released, but according to the U.S. Coast Guard the active search off of south Maui was suspended following 17 searches over the course of 40 hours that covered an area of 306 miles. "DLNR is asking people who post misinformation and conspiracy theories anonymously to stop and think about how they’d react if they were in the same situation," the department wrote. "Social media can either be a powerful tool for sharing information or a mouthpiece for tremendously hurtful and inaccurate comments directed toward people who are dealing with a tragedy."
