A woman on a boat died after a spotted eagle ray leaped from the water off the Florida Keys Thursday and struck her, officials said.I'm pretty sure I already saw this on a Sci-Fi Channel made-for-TV movie.
The force of the blow pushed the woman backward and she died when she hit her head on the boat deck, officials said.
When you get to be 81 years old, flying sting rays stabbing you right in the heart is God's way of saying, "stay on your toes, buddy."Television personality Steve Irwin was killed when a ray's barb pierced his heart in September 2006.
He spent five weeks on a ventilator and his recovery took several months, his sons told the Detroit Free Press in his former home state of Michigan.A month later, an 81-year-old Florida man, James Bertakis, survived after a ray leapt from the water and stung him in the heart, according to the Orlando Sentinel.
