Manfrini suffered a 2-inch-deep stab wound in her upper left chest and showed signs of water in her lungs, according to Antara, who received the medical report. <\/p>\n<p>Swordfish attacks are extremely uncommon and death is even rarer, but their sharp protruding noses are formidable weapons for these predatory fish and can make for deadly encounters. In 2015, a boat captain in Hawaii <a class=\"link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hawaiinewsnow.com\/story\/29194089\/boat-captain-speared-by-swordfish-in-hawaii-harbor-dies\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">died<\/a> after being speared by the long-billed fish in Hawaii.<\/p>\n<p>Mentawai is considered one of the best surfing locations in the world with its warm waters, consistent breaks and glassy conditions. The islands therefore have a flourishing tourism economy from surf camps and travel agencies that offer foreign surfers guided trips. <\/p>\n<p>Manfrini, an ex-pro snowboarder, was a co-founder of <a class=\"link\" href=\"https:\/\/awavetravel.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">AWAVE<\/a>, a travel company that offered surf trips at luxury surf resorts and surf charters in remote locations across the world, including several spots in the Mentawai islands. She was a guest at the Hidden Bay Resort in the Northern Mentawai Islands at the time of the accident. <\/p>\n<p>In an Instagram post, Hidden Bay Resort <a class=\"link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DBWSkDrSlM7\/?img_index=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">wrote,<\/a>  \u201cUnfortunately, in this case, there was nothing we could do\u201d to prevent the accident, adding it  \u201cprovided all the necessary support to help with the procedures for repatriating the body.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Friends and clients went online to share their condolences and memories of the avid surfer. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cGiulia was the lifeblood of this company and her infectious enthusiasm for surf, snow and life will be remembered by all that came in contact with her,\u201d AWAVE co-founder, James Colston <a class=\"link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DBT3OaRvRJJ\/?img_index=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">shared<\/a> on social media. \u201cGiulia couldn\u2019t travel without people falling in love with her smile, laugh and endless stoke.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Massimo Ferro, one of two witnesses at the scene when Manfrini was killed, shared a series of pictures from their trip leading up to the fatal accident. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou jumped into my life full speed and likewise, you went out,\u201d <a class=\"link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DBayCE0Ss8F\/?hl=en&amp;img_index=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">wrote<\/a> Ferro on Instagram. \u201cI feel grateful for being with you till the last second.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\r\n     data-ad-layout-key=\"-fb+5w+4e-db+86\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"7910942971\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><div data-type=\"_mgwidget\" data-widget-id=\"1660802\">\r\n<\/div>\r\n<script>(function(w,q){w[q]=w[q]||[];w[q].push([\"_mgc.load\"])})(window,\"_mgq\");\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.latimes.com\/world-nation\/story\/2024-10-22\/surfer-dies-after-being-impaled-by-a-swordfish-in-indonesia\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An Italian surfer died last week after being impaled by a swordfish in the waters of Masokut Island in Indonesia.
