| episode_narrative | A 54-year-old female Korean tourist was snorkeling with her husband and about two dozen other tourist Ipan Beach Resort in Talafofo. Jun Bae, the resort's general manager, said he an four other employees rushed to the victim when they saw her husband carrying her and crying for help. Guam Fire Department rescue crews were notified at 1330. The woman was under the choppy waters for about 10 minutes. Resort attendees said they did not know how the accident took place, noting the women was wearing a life vest, there were three employees watching the swimmers, and the waters were only three to four feet deep. The woman was on life support until February 23, when she was taken off by request of her family. Strong high pressure to the northeast of Guam increased trade winds across the western North Pacific. This created long period swells, which resulted in strong rip currents along the eastern shore lines of the Mariana Islands. Ipan Beach is on the eastern shore and was susceptible to these swells |
