LOS CABOS, Mexico (AP) - Authorities in
Mexico say a giant wave has dragged off a U.S. couple walking on a Baja
California beach, drowning the 72-year-old husband and injuring his
66-year-old wife.
Prosecutors say a navy boat
found Ted Park's body two hours later in the ocean 800 yards from the
spot where the wave hit the couple. The statement says Park's wife
Shinae suffered respiratory problems after Wednesday's accident in Los
Cabos. The couple was visiting from Walnut Creek, California.
The U.S. consulate confirms that the man who died was a U.S. citizen.
Los Cabos at the southern
tip of the Baja peninsula is a favorite vacation spot for Hollywood
stars and thousands of other U.S. tourists who still venture to Mexican
beaches despite the drug violence that plagues parts of the country.
