An American 57-year-old woman, Judy Kay Zagoleski, was sunbathing on a yacht when unexpectedly a spotted eagle ray leapt out of the water and collided with Judy's face, causing her death. Investigators initially suspected that Judy had died from being stung by a barb, but later, investigating officials stated that there were no puncture wounds on Judy's body. Apparently, she was fatally collided with by this "flying fish".
