Two Americans drown after Caribbean current pulls them out to sea

Two American tourists, a 38-year-old man and a 40-year-old woman, drowned after a strong current swept swimmers out to sea near Bimini in the Bahamas. Their deaths highlight the risks of swimming in waters where current warnings are posted.

Police said the pair were swimming in an area beyond a sign warning of strong currents. A nearby ferry rescued some swimmers, but the two Americans were unresponsive when reached; CPR and further treatment at a local clinic did not revive them. Police do not suspect foul play and are investigating, with an autopsy planned to determine the exact cause of death.
