A British mother who drowned in the Bahamas while trying to save her two children who were swept out to sea has been pictured.
Leanne Gregory, 36, died on Tuesday while on a snorkelling expedition in the south of the island with her husband and sons when the current carried them away.
According to local reports, she entered the water in a bid to save them.
Police said they were told shortly after 10am that the mother was found unresponsive at the ferry dock in Bimini.
But the mother had already been taken for treatment when officers arrived. Doctors at the clinic later pronounced her dead.
The boys were rescued by emergency services from the water and her husband, Nathan Gregory, 36, attempted to resuscitate Leanne but it was too late.
Mrs Jones told The Telegraph: 'It is devastating. Leanne drowned trying to save her two boys who got into trouble in choppy waters.
'They can both swim, they're good swimmers, but the current was too strong. They were in difficulty and she went out to rescue them. But the waters were too rough and choppy for her.'
A progressive lawyer known for proudly touting an indigenous heritage has been accused of lying about her background.
Canadian lawyer Promise Holmes Skinner was called out by the activist Crystal Semaganis, who filed a complaint with the Law Society of Ontario last Wednesday.
Holmes Skinner's public LinkedIn profile stated that she was an 'Anishinaabe-Scandinavian lawyer' whose work focuses on 'indigenous legal traditions'.
Semaganis, who leads the Ghost Warrior Society, a grassroots organization that seeks to expose people falsely claiming indigenous heritage, alleged that Holmes Skinner has 'no First Nations, Inuit, Métis bloodline to speak of' in her complaint, which was viewed Friday by the Daily Mail.
In response, Holmes Skinner acknowledged to Global News that she did not have documentary proof of indigenous ancestry.
However, she claimed to have a 'cherished understanding that my grandmother was Anishinaabe' from Cape Croker First Nation in Ontario.
'However, without documentary evidence to verify that, I have learned culture in other ways,' she told the outlet.
The complaint filed by Semaganis asked for disciplinary action to be taken against Holmes Skinner 'in which she acknowledges the harm she has inflicted.'

HMRC will be handed sweeping new powers to take money directly from the bank accounts of people who fail to pay their taxes under plans expected to be announced at the Budget.
The taxman will be able to automatically deduct payments from current and savings accounts without obtaining a court order as ministers attempt to recover £4billion in unpaid debts.
Chancellor John Healey is expected to unveil the crackdown targeting millions of individuals and businesses who owe relatively small sums but repeatedly ignore demands for payment.
Under existing rules, HMRC can only seize money directly from accounts if the taxpayer owes more than £1,000 and is left with at least £5,000 after the debt is recovered.
But the threshold could now be slashed to just a few pounds, with officials also able to recover outstanding fines and interest.
HMRC estimates that around 4.8million individuals and businesses owe less than £10,000 each, with their combined debts totalling £4billion.
The average unpaid bill among individual taxpayers is just £950.
The measures, reported by The Times, form part of government efforts to tackle Britain's £60billion tax gap.
A toddler and his two grandparents found shot dead inside an Ohio home have been identified after a chilling 911 call in which dispatchers heard someone apparently whispering 'help' before authorities found the trio.
The victims were named on Thursday as Melissa E. Campbell, 51, Gale F. Sanders, 67, and 22-month-old Kozzar J. Lotut, whose bodies were discovered at a property in the small village of Gnadenhutten, south of Canton, on Wednesday.
All three had suffered gunshot wounds, according to the Tuscarawas County Coroner's Office.
Investigators are now attempting to piece together what happened inside the home.
The disturbing discovery followed a mysterious emergency call shortly after 4am that abruptly disconnected before dispatchers could establish where it was coming from.
When emergency operators attempted to call the number back, they heard what appeared to be a faint plea for assistance.
On one of those calls, a dispatcher heard a 'voice softly saying the word "help,"' according to the Tuscarawas County Sheriff's Office.
The unsettling exchange sparked an urgent effort to locate the caller, eventually leading deputies to the home.
A letter sent to Scotland Yard in 2018 accusing Meghan Markle's father of child sexual abuse has now been confirmed to exist, raising fresh questions over whether police investigated the allegations.
The development comes after the Duchess of Sussex revealed yesterday that she had been made aware of the 'troubling and disturbing' claims shortly after her wedding to Prince Harry and was assured they were being investigated.
However, the Metropolitan Police said on Friday that it was unable to confirm whether officers had ever passed the letter to Meghan, despite her claims that it had been shared with her.
The letter, sent to the Met's Fixated Threat Assessment Centre (FTAC), a specialist unit dealing with potential threats to the Royal Family and other high-profile figures, allegedly accused Thomas Markle Snr of sexually abusing a child.
Its author also claimed the 82-year-old had admitted travelling to Thailand and the Philippines to abuse children.
The Sun has reportedly now seen a copy of the letter, confirming its existence after
President Donald Trump has admitted he personally ordered the Justice Department to sue Alaska in an extraordinary bid to block certification of its Senate election results if Republican Senator Dan Sullivan loses.
'I'm the one that said do it,' Trump told reporters Friday as he arrived in Florida for a campaign rally, confirming his role in the lawsuit filed by his administration late Thursday.
The lawsuit seeks to prevent Alaska from certifying the results of its November 3 Senate race under specific circumstances, arguing that voters could be confused by the presence of two candidates with nearly identical names.
Trump has accused Democrats of putting forward a rival named Daniel J. Sullivan Jr to sway votes away from the sitting senator, who is fighting to hold his seat against Democratic challenger Mary Peltola.
Daniel J Sullivan Jr, a retired teacher from the small Alaskan fishing community of Petersburg, has denied allegations that he is deliberately trying to confuse voters or working with Democrats.
The lawsuit marks an unusual intervention by the federal government into a state-run
A council worker has sued for discrimination after missing out on a pension worth £350,000 when he was made redundant three days before his 55th birthday.
Lee Henley, 57, had worked for Thurrock Council in Essex for 35 years when he was told restructuring plans within the authority meant he would be let go.
Mr Henley initially believed he would finish at the Council after his 55th birthday - meaning he would be entitled to the entirety of his pension.
But he was left short hundreds of thousands of pounds after changes in redundancy plans - brought in while Mr Henley was on holiday - brought the date forward by three days before his birthday.
He subsequently took the case to an employment tribunal, claiming age discrimination. However, his claim has now been dismissed by an employment judge.
Mr Henley began working at Thurrock Council in 1989. His employment ended on July 22, 2024, having worked at the authority for 35 years with an 'exemplary attendance record'.
By 2022, he had become the Head of Information Management - but the Council was in 'significant financial difficulty' and had the highest level of debt of

Pupils should be taught about relationships involving multiple partners and polyamory should be given legal recognition, according to 'detached from reality' Scottish Green activists.
They will propose this weekend that sex education should not prescribe 'specific relationship structures as superior or more desirable' and that lessons 'should cover a mix of sexual identities' such as 'throuples'.
The motion, to be debated at the Scottish Greens' autumn conference in Inverness, says 'all relationship structures should be recognised and reflected in our education'.
Proposed by the party's Greens of Colour group, the submission also says polyamorous relationships are growing in number across Scotland 'but remain without recognition'.
They claim this can 'prevent members of poly relationships from day-visiting their partners in cases of serious illness or being recognised as their partners in official documentation'.
Activists also insist state benefits 'should take into account relationships that may involve multiple partners'.
Some Scottish Greens have put forward a motion to have schools teach children about relationships involving multiple partners to be discussed at the party's autumn conference
Scottish Conservative deputy leader Rachael Hamilton described the Scottish Greens as 'completely detached from
