Summary
Nathan Gregory said his wife Leanne died in less than 10 minutes after both parents rushed into the sea when their two sons were swept away by a riptide off Bimini.
The 36-year-old Nottinghamshire mother was on a family holiday marking an early celebration of the couple's 10th wedding anniversary; the boys were rescued, but she could not be saved.
Bahamas police said officers were called shortly after 10:00 local time Tuesday after Gregory was found unresponsive at North Bimini Ferry Dock, where CPR was given before she was pronounced dead at a clinic.
A GoFundMe had raised nearly £9,000 by Sunday as tributes spread in Stapleford, while the UK Foreign Office said it was supporting the family and police said no foul play was suspected.
