British woman in coma after being saved from Mexico crocodile attack by twin sister

while her twin sister Georgia has “terrible” bite marks on her body, their mother, Sue Laurie from Sandhurst, Berkshire, said.

Georgia found her sister face down in water in the Manialtepec Lagoon — 16 km away from the popular surfing resort of Puerto Escondido — and dragged her to safety. The crocodile attacked them both again but Georgia was able to fend it off and swim to the boat with her sister.Their father Sean Laurie told the Daily Mail that Georgia “kept punching it [the crocodile] in the head.”

He said: “They were swimming after dark in the bioluminescent waters when Georgia heard Melissa cry out. She called for her but she didn’t reply. She could hear other members of the tour group but did not hear anything from her sister.” “Melissa is alive, but we don’t know if her injuries are life-threatening or not. She has water on her lungs and she has been coughing up blood. So we don’t know if she has a punctured lung or not,” the mother of twins said.Swimmers are warned that the Manialtepec Lagoon is infested with crocodiles. However, the mother claimed that the tour guide the twins were travelling with, told them that the lagoon was safe to swim in. The sisters had been backpacking around the world since March this year.
