## Summary

Leanne Gregory, 36, from Nottinghamshire, drowned while trying to save her sons after a rip tide swept them into dangerous water off Bimini in the Bahamas. Her husband, Nathan, said she held their youngest son above water until a rescue boat arrived, but a wave swept her away moments after he was brought aboard.

The family had arrived in the Bahamas for a cruise marking their tenth wedding anniversary, which was due in December. Nathan reached their older son but was pulled down by the waves, so he called for help while the boy floated on his back; beachgoers eventually alerted a passing boat. Nathan and others recovered Leanne and gave her CPR, but she died after being taken to hospital.
