U.S. Tourist, Lauren Failla (NJ) died while snorkeling on her dream vacation at the Andaman Islands off the coast of India, after she recently graduated from Southebys Art Institute in London.

“We can confirm an American citizen was killed by a crocodile while snorkeling in the Andaman Islands,” Michael Tran, a U.S. State Department spokesman, said Wednesday, states the NYDailyNews.com.

According to the N.J.com, saltwater crocodiles are the worlds largest crocs, sometimes exceeding 20 feet and weighing more than a ton, according to National Geographic and they can swim great distances at sea.

Our hearts and prayers go out to Laurens family and friends.
