It occurred off one of the country's beaches in the south of the island. The preliminary information showed that the tourist got into problems at the beach and drowned before any help could reach.
The police failed to immediately clear if she was a part of cruise-ship passengers taking a tour of the island.
Many people said the sea was rough on Saturday, but the authorities failed to place any red flags to stop people from swimming. The public is also demanding the government to put lifeguards on the beaches to protect locals and tourists.
The Antigua police have taken the body in custody and initiated a thorough investigation into the matter. The body has been sent for autopsy, and the absolute truth might come after the results arrive.
Netizens condemned the lack of assistance at the beaches. A user named Marie Starr wrote,"Is she from one of the cruise ships? Was she on one of the guided beach tours? Again no lifeguards on the main beaches. The sea was rough red flags should be put up. Sad,"Latest
