BIMINI - A 36-year-old British woman died in the Bahamas while trying to rescue her two sons, who were reportedly swept away by a strong current as they were snorkelling near Bimini, according to The Guardian. Harry Taylor wrote the report.

The Guardian reported that the Royal Bahamas police force said it had launched an investigation after the death of the 36-year-old woman on Tuesday. The summary of the report does not include further details about the investigation.

In a separate report, BBC News reported that a mum died after trying to rescue her sons, who were swept away at sea. Citing police, the BBC said the children were subsequently rescued from the water. Its summary is brief and does not name a location.

The two accounts differ in setting and detail. The Guardian's summary places the death in the Bahamas and describes a snorkelling trip near Bimini, while BBC News describes the incident as taking place at sea and does not give the woman's age. The Guardian said the boys were reportedly swept away, whereas BBC News said the children were rescued from the water. Neither summary says when the rescue took place.

Neither summary names the family. The reports available for this story do not describe the cause of the current or the circumstances that led to the investigation beyond the police statement reported by The Guardian.
