We at Grand Isle Resort & Residences in Exuma were deeply saddened to learn that early this morning, the lifeless body of a guest was found in the shower of one of our condo hotel residences.

We can confirm that the guest was an 87-year-old woman who was visiting The Bahamas with her family from Virginia.

The Royal Bahamas Police Force is presently on the property investigating the cause of death. Until authorities have determined what led to the tragic accident, we cannot comment further except to say that on behalf of all the staff and others at the resort who have heard of the incident, our hearts are saddened and our thoughts and prayers go out to the family.

 We ask that you provide them the privacy and the peace they need at this time.
