Posted in A college student from New Jersey was killed during a snorkeling adventure in India’s Andaman Islands recently, about four years after her older sister died of rock-climbing accident in Washington.
Lauren Failla was attacked by a saltwater crocodile on April 28 during a snorkeling expedition with her boyfriend in India. She spent her holiday in this country after earning a master’s degree in art at London’s Sotheby’s Art Institute.
She went missing for two days. When found, her body bore marks of the attack of a giant saltwater crocodile.
According to reports, the attack was recorded by an underwater camera which the victim’s boyfriend used. The personnel who had to retrieve the victim’s body had a hard time getting past the crocodile. The crocodile was said to have been adamant in letting go of the body.
Families and friends of the victims gathered to remember Failla.
