'Instantly amputated': New details emerge in Canadian woman's Turks and Caicos shark attack

A Canadian woman was attacked by a seven-foot bull shark in Turks and Caicos, resulting in the loss of both hands, as detailed by her brother-in-law, Al Chevarie.
The local police confirmed the incident occurred on February 7, and the woman was taken to Cheshire Hall Medical Centre for stabilization and further treatment.
The attack happened while she was in hip-deep water, as she attempted to take photos with the shark, prompting authorities to urge caution around marine life.
As of now, nearly $26,000 has been raised through the GoFundMe to assist the family with recovery costs, according to the fundraiser organizer.
