British Mother, 36, Dies Trying to Rescue Two Sons From Current While Snorkelling Off Bahamas

A 36-year-old British woman died on Tuesday off North Bimini in the Bahamas after trying to rescue her two sons from a strong current while snorkelling, the Royal Bahamas Police Force said. Police said the current reportedly swept both boys away and the woman was then swept away too; the boys were later rescued. Officers at Alice Town police station were told shortly after 10am that a woman was unresponsive at the North Bimini ferry dock, and she had been taken to a local clinic. Police have opened an investigation. The Telegraph named her as Leanne Gregory, and her husband, Nathan, attempted to resuscitate her. The family, from Nottinghamshire, was due to fly home Friday, and the date her body will return to the UK is unknown. The Foreign Office said it is in touch with the family and providing support.

The Guardian, on the left, leads with the official account: police statements, the timeline at the station and dock, the investigation and the Foreign Office's support, plus background on Bimini's location near Miami, its Hemingway link and its shark research centre. Its excerpt does not name the woman. The New York Post, on the right, frames a personal tragedy, calling her a hero mom and naming her through the Telegraph. It features her mother-in-law, Kim Jones, saying the boys swim well but the water was too rough, along with the husband's resuscitation attempt and the couple's 20-year relationship. Its excerpt does not mention the police investigation. Both sides agree on the core facts. Alternative / independent outlets had not reported the story at the time of writing, while left- and right-leaning outlets had.
