A Canadian woman died after a grey whale crashed into the tourist boat she was on off Mexico's Pacific coast.
The woman had been snorkelling off the north-western resort of Cabo San Lucas.
The exact circumstances of the incident are unclear. Firefighters say the whale jumped up and landed on the boat, throwing the victim into the water.
But the tour company said the woman was injured when the captain had to make a sudden turn to avoid the surfacing whale, which hit one side of the boat.
She later died in hospital. Two other people were also injured.

Went whale watching and when they breach they do it where they will. I thought twice.
Are they sure Hancock didn't throw the whale onto the boat?
