Marine police in southern Thailand say French woman dead after being hit by boat
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Police in the southern Thai resort province of Krabi say a French woman has died after her head was struck by a boat while snorkeling.
Lt. Col. Anurak Parinyasatirkul of the Marine Police said the 52-year-old woman was hit Tuesday afternoon while snorkeling with her family, but no one else was injured.
He said police believe she died from a head wound that might have come from a sharp object such as a propeller.
