Egyptian authorities admitted today another lifeless body was pulled out of the sea near Sahl Hasheesh, south of Hurghada (see map) after a shark attack on Friday. She is believed to have died around the same time as a 68-year-old Austrian pensioner who was killed 650ft away. The local Green Party in Kramsach, Tyrol named Elisabeth Sauer (main), who was a local councillor from 1998 to 2004, as the first woman who was attacked at around same time as the other tourist. The second woman's identity has not been revealed but she is believed to have been a Romanian tourist who was staying at adults only Premiere Le Reve five star hotel (right) before she was found on a reef. The first woman had been in the country for a month with her partner, an Egyptian, and was due to return home today. She was walking in shallow water while using a snorkel with fins not far from the beach near Hurghada and told her partner: 'I'll go back in for a moment'. Footage then shows her clamouring toward safety with the aid of a flipper as the waters around her turned scarlet red in Sahl Hasheesh bay, south of Hurghada, in the Red Sea. Terrified onlookers tried to distract the animal, which is believed to be either a Mako or a Oceanic whitetip shark, but no one jumped in to help her. The sea is still closed by authorities and the nearby beaches have been deserted in the wake of the deaths.
