A woman was killed by an eagle ray that jumped into her boat; the woman was stabbed with its barb just like Steve Irwin. The freak accident happened just off the coast of Florida Keys.
The Eagle Ray just jumped out of the water and its barb penetrated the woman on some part of her body, this then caused her to fall back where she hit her head. It is not known which of the two caused her death. However some media at the scene said that the Eagles Rays barb had stabbed her through the neck.
The rays often swim near the water's surface and can leap out, especially when pursued, but are generally shy of humans.
