Flying stingray shattered victim's skull

A boating woman who was killed when a stingray jumped out of the water in the Florida Keys and hit her face died of skull fractures and brain injuries, not from the animal’s poisonous barb, a medical examiner said.

Judy Kay Zagorski, 57, of Pigeon, Michigan, was in the front of a boat going 25mph (40kph) when a 75lb (34kg) spotted eagle ray leapt from the water and hit her in a freak collision.
