Just coming on the news. Woman in Florida killed by a 75lb sting ray leaping in the boat and hitting her in the face.

No, not fishing. Apparently sunbathing. They have just confirmed that she was killed by the impact of the stingray as apposed to hitting her head or being "stuck" by the sting. I am sure more details are yet to come.
