A pregnant woman dived into the sea in the Florida Keys to save her husband from an attacking shark. Police said Andrew Charles Eddy, 30, was snorkelling on Sombrero Reef but was bitten by the shark almost immediately after entering the water
According to a Monroe County Sheriff’s Office report, obtained by the Miami Herald, the pregnant Margot leaped off the boat to her husband’s aid, disregarding her own safety to help Andrew.
‘Dukes saw the shark’s dorsal fin and then blood filling the water,’ Deputy Christopher Aguanno wrote in his report. ‘Dukes, without hesitation, dove into the water and pulled Eddy to the safety of the boat.’
Thanks to his wife’s quick reactions, Andrew was pulled out of the water, before being taken by boat to Sombrero Beach in Marathon, where medics and the city’s fire and rescue team were waiting for him.
