## Summary

Leanne Gregory, 36, from Stapleford, Nottinghamshire, died while trying to rescue her two sons after a strong current swept them away during a family snorkelling trip near Bimini in the Bahamas. Her sons survived, and her husband, Nathan, called her a “hero”, saying she kept one child above water while she was sinking.
