A dip in the Caribbean waters at Punta Uva turned out to be fatal for U.S. tourist Debora Joy Blawell, 15, who was pulled under by waves and drowned Monday afternoon, according to Judicial Investigation Police (OIJ) spokeswoman Xinia Zamora.
Blawell, from the state of Oklahoma, was visiting Costa Rica with her church group.
After she was pulled from the water, Red Cross workers took her to a clinic in nearby Home Creek, where she died at about 5 p.m., Zamora said. |
