Police are confirming two unrelated deaths of female tourists while at the Baths this week.

On Tuesday, female tourist Diana Wright, 63, of Texas was found unresponsive by members of her family while snorkeling in waters near The Baths around 3pm. She was transported to shore where attempts were made to resuscitate her by personnel from the Iris O’Neal Clinic and Virgin Islands Search and Rescue. She was later pronounced dead.

Around noon on Friday, another female tourist, native of California, was snorkeling at the Baths when she began experiencing difficulty. She was transported to shore where attempts were made to restore breathing. She was later pronounced dead. 

The name of the second female is being withheld until the next of kin has been notified.

Cause of death in both cases is still to be determined.

Investigations are ongoing.
