El resort Atlantis Bahamas cerró su estanque de tiburones después de que un niño fuera atacado, y ahora tenemos una idea de cómo funcionaba la excursión días antes de la tragedia.

Un par de clips obtenidos por TMZ muestran a los huéspedes en dirección a uno de los tanques del complejo el sábado pasado, apenas dos días antes de que un niño de 10 años fuera atacado por uno de los tiburones.

Todos los huéspedes llevaban grandes cascos blancos, mientras que los miembros del personal estaban flotando alrededor en trajes de buceo más tradicionales, y la proporción parece un poco desbalanceada, con muchos más clientes que empleados flotando alrededor.

Echa un vistazo para ver lo cerca que estaban los huéspedes de las bestias submarinas, ¡eso sí que es tener intimidad!

Nuestras fuentes nos dicen que el tanque tenía alrededor de 15-20 tiburones y que el más grande medía alrededor de ocho pies. Tres acompañantes suelen ayudar a los visitantes a entrar en el agua y caminar durante unos 20 minutos, antes de enviarlos de vuelta al parque acuático.

En términos de si eso es seguro o no, no podemos decir con seguridad. No somos expertos en la materia, y esto tampoco fue tomado en el momento del ataque, así que no sabemos si se trata de la misma configuración del resort en el momento del accidente el lunes. Lo que sí sabemos es que se ve como que un montón de turistas están acercándose, quizás muy de cerca, a algunos tiburones.

TMZ informó primero la noticia, un impactante video mostraba las secuelas de un brutal ataque a un niño de 10 años. La gente estaba gritando y los empleados de camisas azules parecían correr en busca de ayuda.

La Policía de las Bahamas dijo que el niño, que es de Maryland y estaba de vacaciones, fue mordido en la pierna derecha y llevado al hospital. Afortunadamente, estaba estable y Atlantis cerró sus tanques de inmediato.

Larry Merchant Recovering At Home ... After Being Hospitalized W/ Vertigo

Don't count out Larry Merchant ... the legendary boxing announcer tells TMZ Sports he's on the mend after a bout with vertigo that put him in the hospital!

We broke the story ... 92-year-old Merchant was rushed to the emergency room just days before Christmas, and things appeared bleak for the former HBO Boxing commentator.

But, Larry himself tells us he's on the mend!

Merchant says he was diagnosed with vertigo, but after receiving treatment, he was sprung from the hospital after just a few days. He's now recovering at home, and he says he's doing well.

According to WebMD, "Vertigo is a sensation of feeling off balance. If you have these dizzy spells, you might feel like you are spinning or that the world around you is spinning."

Merchant says he "appreciated the outpouring" of support, and even joked it was like witnessing his funeral.

Merchant, who worked alongside fellow greats like Jim Lampley, George Foreman, Roy Jones Jr., and Harold Lederman, laid down his microphone in 2012 ... and is widely regarded as one of the greatest commentators in the history of the sport.

Get well soon, Larry!

Ashley Park Hospitalized with Septic Shock ... 'Grateful' and On the Mend

Ashley Park is thankful for her good health ... revealing she was sent to the hospital while on vacation over the holidays with an infection that affected several of her organs.

The actress/musician shared a few snaps to IG on Friday featuring her laid out in a hospital bed ... with her "Emily in Paris" costar and rumored beau, Paul Forman, by her side.

In the caption, AP wrote she had a bout of tonsillitis around New Year's ... normally a relatively routine ailment to deal with -- but unfortunately for Ashley, it spiraled into full-blown critical septic shock. She added she was improving "despite what we had initially been told" ... sounds like doctors thought this was gonna be a whole heck of a lot worse.

GOOD SPIRITS

She also divulged she was forced to go to three different hospitals and spent a full week in the ICU ... and thanked Forman for being by her side through all of the scary moments -- seemingly confirming their romance by saying she loved him "More than I can ever say."

'EIP's leading lady Lily Collins wished her well, commenting on the post, "I can hardly look at these without crying. I love you sister and I’m forever grateful you’re on the other side" ... she added she couldn't wait to give Park and Forman big hugs when she saw them.

Park's no stranger to hospitals ... she beat leukemia when she was just a teenager -- but still a scary few weeks for the star whose career is taking off like a rocket!

On top of 'Emily,' Ashley starred in the most recent season of "Only Murders in the Building" ... and fans can catch her in theaters teaching French to Regina George and her cronies in "Mean Girls."

So glad you're OK Ashley ... and we hope to see you in Paris soon!!!

Ashley Park Hospitalizada por un shock séptico Agradecida y en vías de recuperación

Ashley Park está agradecida por su buena salud y reveló que fue enviada al hospital mientras estaba de vacaciones por una infección que afectó a varios de sus órganos.

La actriz y músico compartió unas fotos en Instagram el viernes donde aparece acostada en un hospital, con el coprotagonista de "Emily in Paris" y rumoreado novio Paul Forman, a su lado.

En el comentario escribió que tuvo una amigdalitis alrededor de Año Nuevo, una dolencia relativamente rutinaria de tratar, pero que por desgracia para Ashley, se convirtió en un shock séptico crítico en toda regla. Añadió que estaba mejorando "a pesar de lo que nos habían dicho inicialmente". Suena como que los médicos pensaban que esto iba a ser una pesadilla mucho peor.

De buen humor

También divulgó que se vio obligada a ir a tres hospitales diferentes y que pasó una semana completa en la UCI y agradeció a Forman por estar a su lado en los momentos de mayor miedo, aparentemente confirmando su romance diciendo que lo ama "más de lo que puede decir".

La protagonista de "Emily in Paris", Lily Collins, le deseó lo mejor. En el post comentó: "Apenas puedo mirar esto sin llorar. Te quiero hermana y estoy eternamente agradecida de que estés del otro lado". Añadió que no puede esperar a darles un gran abrazo a ambos cuando los vea.

Park no es ajena a los hospitales. Venció la leucemia cuando era solo una adolescente, pero aún así, son unas semanas de miedo para la estrella cuya, carrera está despegando como un cohete.

Además de "Emily in Paris", Ashley protagonizó la temporada más reciente de "Only Murders in the Building" y los fans pueden verla en los cines enseñando francés a Regina George y sus compinches en "Mean Girls".

Nos alegramos mucho de que estés bien Ashley, ¡¡¡y esperamos verte pronto en París!!!

ataque de un tiburón en las Bahamas el video muestra a un niño gritando

el terrible video
TMZ.com

Un video escalofriante del ataque de un tiburón a un niño en un complejo turístico de las Bahamas muestra al niño de 10 años gritando de dolor mientras su familia entra en pánico para sacarlo del agua.

TMZ obtuvo un video del momento en que un tiburón en uno de los tanques en el complejo Atlantis Bahamas en Paradise Island le dio un mordisco a un niño de 10 años de edad, un accidente extraño que ha sido absolutamente horrible de escuchar, pero que ahora se puede ver.

Otra familia está filmando el tanque de tiburones y tobogán de agua, cuando de repente, oyen gritos desde el lado opuesto con la gente apresuradamente a la superficie de una experiencia bajo el agua con tiburones nodriza y de arrecife.

Los gritos llenan el aire y la gente empieza a pedir ayuda, y el niño es arrastrado hasta el borde del tanque y sacado del agua. Parece que el personal comenzó inmediatamente a atenderlo.

El ataque del tiburón se produjo el lunes, con la Real Fuerza de Policía de Bahamas diciendo que el niño fue mordido en la pierna derecha y llevado a un hospital en condición estable. Se desconoce el alcance de sus heridas, pero a primera vista suena increíblemente doloroso.

La experiencia de nadar con tiburones del complejo —gestionada por una empresa externa— se ha cerrado, al menos temporalmente. Tiene sentido... podemos imaginar que esto podría asustar a la gente y con razón.

Aconsejamos siempre ser precavidos.

Bahamas Shark Attack Child Screams In Chilling Footage ... Get Him Outta the Water!!!

The terrifying footage
TMZ.com

Chilling video of the shark attack on a child at a Bahamas resort shows the 10-year-old boy screaming in pain ... as his family panics to get him out of the water.

TMZ obtained video of the moment a shark in one of the tanks at the Atlantis Bahamas resort on Paradise Island took a bite out of a 10-year-old boy from Maryland ... a freak accident that's been absolutely horrifying to hear about, but which can now be seen.

Watch ... another family is filming the shark tank and water slide, when suddenly -- they hear screams from the opposite side  ... with people hurriedly surfacing from an underwater experience with nurse and reef sharks.

Shrieks fill the air and folks start calling for help ... and the boy is pulled to the edge of the tank and dragged out of the water. It appears staffers immediately started tending to him.

The shark attack went down Monday, with the Royal Bahamas Police Force saying the boy was bitten on the right leg, and taken to a hospital in stable condition. The extent of his injuries is unknown -- but on its face, it looks and sounds incredibly painful.

The resort's swimming with sharks experience, which is operated by an outside company, has since shut down ... at least temporarily. Makes sense -- ya gotta imagine this might spook folks for a bit.

In the meantime ... be safe out there, everyone.

Hija de Snoop Dogg Sufre un grave derrame cerebral Postea desde el hospital ❤️‍🩹

La hija de Snoop Dogg, Cori Broadus, tiene algunas alarmantes noticias. La madrugada del jueves reveló que está en el hospital después de sufrir un derrame cerebral severo.

Enterarte de que has sufrido un derrame cerebral es algo preocupante para cualquier persona, pero especialmente para Cori, que solo tiene 24 años.

La chica anunció su calvario médico en un post de Instagram, en el que admitió que rompió en llanto cuando los médicos le dijeron lo que había pasado.

En múltiples posts, Cori incluyó imágenes dentro del hospital, por lo que parece que todavía está recibiendo tratamiento después de recibir la impactante noticia.

En una historia de IG escribió: "Solo tengo 24, qué hice en mi pasado para merecer todo esto". Claramente, está pasando por un momento difícil mentalmente y físicamente.

Por cierto, el "todo esto" es una referencia a la revelación de Cori del año pasado, de que había sido diagnosticada con lupus a la edad de 6 años.

Historia en desarrollo...

Snoop Dogg's Daughter Suffers Severe Stroke ... Posts From Hospital ❤️‍🩹

Snoop Dogg's daughter Cori Broadus has some alarming news -- early Thursday morning she revealed she's in the hospital after suffering a severe stroke.

Learning you've had a stroke would be concerning for anyone, but especially in Cori's case ... as she's only 24 years old.

She announced her medical ordeal with a post on Instagram, admitting she broke down in tears when doctors told her what had happened.

In multiple posts, Cori included images inside a hospital, so it appears she's still receiving treatment after getting the shocking news.

She wrote in one IG story, "I'm only 24 what did I do in my past to deserve all of this" ... so, she's clearly going through it mentally as well as physically.

BTW, the "all of this" is a reference to Cori's revelation last year that she'd been diagnosed with lupus at the age of 6.

Príncipe William Abandona el hospital después de visitar a Kate Ella inicia su estancia de 2 semanas...

El príncipe William fue a ver a su esposa Kate Middleton, un día después de que se anunciara que ella va a estar por un tiempo en el hospital, lo que marca el comienzo de lo que pueden ser visitas recurrentes.

Su Alteza Real fue fotografiado el jueves saliendo de la clínica de Londres, después de pasar un tiempo frente a frente con la Princesa de Gales, que acaba de pasar por una operación y que permanecerá bajo vigilancia médica durante las próximas 2 semanas.

Como se puede ver, Will estaba andando en su propio carro, con el personal de seguridad siguiéndolo de cerca en otro vehículo por separado. Tenía un pasajero con él, pero el príncipe William era quien estaba tras el volante.

No es de extrañar que esté en el hospital para ver a su esposa, francamente, la noticia de que estaría en cama durante tanto tiempo fue una sorpresa, lo que indica que lo que se está tratando era bastante grave. Por lo tanto, estaba destinado a llegar tarde o temprano.

Una vez más, el Palacio de Kensington no proporcionó detalles sobre la condición de Kate, aparte de decir que la cirugía abdominal que recibió fue programada y que el procedimiento fue un éxito.

Hicieron hincapié en que no sería capaz de reanudar sus funciones reales o asistir a los compromisos hasta después de Pascua y el Palacio también pidió privacidad. No mucho después de eso, se anunció que el rey Carlos también sería sometido a un procedimiento quirúrgico para hacer frente a un agrandamiento de la próstata.

La última vez que vimos a Kate en público fue en Navidad y parecía estar en buen estado de salud entonces. Con su larga estancia en el hospital, seguramente podemos esperar que el Príncipe William se pase por ahí con frecuencia.

Prince William Leaves Hospital After Visiting Kate ... Start of 2-Week Stay

Prince William went to go see his wife, Kate Middleton, a day after it was announced she's going to be in the hospital for a while -- marking the start of what may be recurring visits.

His Royal Highness was photographed Thursday leaving the London Clinic ... this after dropping in for some facetime with the Princess of Wales, who just went through an operation -- and who'll remain under a doctor's watch for the next 2 weeks.

As you can see, Will was cruising in his own car with security personnel following close behind in a separate vehicle. He had a passenger with him ... but PW was behind the wheel.

It's no surprise that he's hitting up the hospital to see the missus -- frankly, the surprise news that she'd be bedridden for this long to recover came as a shocker ... indicating that whatever she's dealing with was quite serious. So, he was bound to arrive sooner or later.

Again, Kensington Palace didn't provide details about Kate's condition ... other than to say the abdominal surgery she received was scheduled, and that the procedure was successful.

SECRET HEALTH BATTLE
TMZ.com

They stressed she wouldn't be able to resume her Royal duties or attend engagements until after Easter ... and the Palace asked for privacy too. Not long after that, it was announced that King Charles was also going under the knife to deal with an enlarged prostate.

The last time we saw Kate in public was Xmas ... and she looked to be in good health then. With her lengthy hospital, we can surely expect to see the Prince stop by early and often.

Martin Lawrence Doing Just Fine Despite Emmys Buzz 11th Hour Tweaks To Blame

Martin Lawrence's appearance at the Emmys this week got some folks a little worried he might be worse for wear -- but the guy's actually never been better, and there's a perfectly good explanation for what people misperceived ... TMZ has learned.

ICYMI ... some fans started speculating something was up with the actor/comedian after he and his "Martin" costars -- Tisha Campbell, Tichina Arnold and Carl Anthony Payne II -- had a reunion at the 75th Emmys on Monday, and Lawrence seemed to slur his words during the bit.

Viewers rushed to social media to compare notes with many expressing concern for the 58-year-old's health and wishing him well and a speedy recovery.

However, sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... ML's totally fine -- in fact, we're told he just recently finished filming the latest "Bad Boys." Not just that, but our sources say he's also hitting the road this summer for his latest comedy tour. In other words, tip-top shape.

We're told even though some thought he may have been slurring his words and taking long pauses during the Emmys Martin reunion, this was actually because of a technical glitch with the teleprompter caused by late changes to the script -- automation strikes again!

In fact, Lawrence is so good we're told he's actually got a couple professional surprises coming for fans in the next few weeks ... though our sources wouldn't elaborate ... so stay tuned for that.

As for the reunion itself ... Martin had so much fun getting together with the cast close to 30 years after the show ended. You gotta admit they all looked great!

Sometimes the internet rumor mill needs to chill ... glad to hear you're doing well, Martin!!

Martin Lawrence Estoy bien, a pesar de los rumores de los Emmys Ajustes de última hora son los culpables

La aparición de Martin Lawrence en los Emmys esta semana dejó algunas personas un poco preocupadas sobre su estado de salud, pero el hombre no puede estar mejor, y hay una explicación perfectamente buena para lo que la gente percibe... TMZ ha averiguado.

Por si se lo perdieron, algunos fans comenzaron a especular de que algo estaba mal con el actor y comediante después de que él y sus coprotagonistas de "Martin", Tisha Campbell, Tichina Arnold y Carl Anthony Payne tuvieran una reunión en la 75ª edición de los Emmys el lunes, y Lawrence parecía arrastrar un poquito las palabras.

Los espectadores se apresuraron en ir a las redes sociales para expresar su preocupación por la salud del actor de 58 años y desearle lo mejor y una pronta recuperación.

Sin embargo, fuentes con conocimiento directo le dicen a TMZ que Martin está totalmente bien. De hecho, nos dicen que acaba de terminar el rodaje de la última "Bad Boys". No solo eso, sino que nuestras fuentes dicen que también está pensando en hacer una gira de comedia durante el verano. En otras palabras, está en plena forma.

Nos dijeron que aunque algunos pensaron que estaba arrastrando las palabras y haciendo largas pausas durante la reunión de Martin en los Emmys, en realidad esto se debió a un fallo técnico con el teleprompter causado por unos cambios de última hora en el guion. ¡La automatización ataca de nuevo!

De hecho, Lawrence está tan bien que nos dicen que incluso tiene un par de sorpresas profesionales para los fans en las próximas semanas. Aunque nuestras fuentes no quisieron dar más detalles, así que quédense atentos para eso.

En cuanto a la reunión en sí, Martin se divirtió mucho con el elenco cerca de 30 años después del final de la serie. Hay que reconocer que todos estaban estupendos.

A veces, la rumorología de Internet necesita calmarse, ¡¡¡nos alegra saber que te va bien, Martin!!!

Colts Owner Jim Irsay Found Blue, Unresponsive in December ... OD Suspected, Cops Say

UPDATE

The Colts released a statement on Jim Irsay's health ... saying he is still recovering from his "respiratory illness."

"We will have no further comment on his personal health, and we continue to ask that Jim and his family's privacy be respected."

Jim Irsay was found laying in his bed unresponsive, cold to the touch and gasping for air during a suspected overdose in December ... this according to police in Indiana.

Carmel Police Department documents, obtained by TMZ Sports, show cops were dispatched to Irsay's Carmel residence on Dec. 8 at around 4:30 AM ... after someone said they had found the Indianapolis Colts owner unconscious on a bathroom floor with a blue skin tone.

When police first arrived on the scene, they say Irsay had been moved to his bed ... where he was struggling to breathe and had a weak pulse and constricted pupils.

Police say in the docs an attempt to wake him with a sternum rub was unsuccessful. They added, though, that after administering one dosage of Narcan -- a drug commonly used to revive people in opiate overdose situations -- "he responded slightly."

Cops say they were prepared to attach an AED to Irsay -- but paramedics arrived and "took over lifesaving efforts." Irsay was eventually transported to a nearby hospital via an ambulance.

Officers noted in the documents that a caretaker provided them a list of the medications Irsay had been taking ... though they wrote in the report, "At this time, it is unknown what Mr. Irsay had ingested prior to our arrival." They classified the incident in the docs as both "overdose" and "overdose/poisoning."

Irsay had not been seen around his Colts' team in the weeks following the incident ... and on Jan. 9, the team announced he'd been dealing with a "severe respiratory illness." The Colts explained in a statement that he would miss a scheduled appearance in Los Angeles with his "Jim Irsay Band" while receiving treatment for the ailment.

"He is receiving excellent care and looks forward to returning to the stage as soon as possible," the Colts said. "We'll have no additional information at this time and we ask that you respect the privacy of Jim and his family as he recovers."

We do not know if Irsay's recent hospitalization is related to the December incident at his home.

Irsay -- who's been the owner of the Colts since 1997 -- said in an interview with Andrea Kremer back in November, he's battled addiction to alcohol and pain pills during his life, requiring at least 15 trips to rehab. He also told Kremer he previously suffered an overdose after he "was trying to detox myself."

"All of a sudden I started slurring my words and then code blue, I stopped breathing," he told Kremer of the OD. "And they revived me, and the doctor goes, 'Jim, you're one lucky man because I had signed, virtually, the death certificate.'"

We've reached out to Irsay, but no word back yet.

RV Miracle Guy Gets Ejected on L.A.-Area Fwy ... Lives to Tell the Tale!!!

FLUNG FROM THE VEHICLE

A guy got launched out of an RV that was barreling down a freeway in the Los Angeles area -- and he got thrown onto the complete opposite side ... somehow surviving the ordeal.

Wild video surfaced Monday of a horrifying accident that miraculously didn't end up being deadly. It shows a driver cruising in one direction along the 14 Freeway near Santa Clarita ... and his dashcam caught an RV coming toward him from the other side of the barrier.

Watch ... you see the RV is a little out of control, and it actually appears to bang against the cement divider -- which seems to have flung one of its passengers through its doors.

Soon enough, a man's body tumbling appears in clear view ... it looks like he fell out of the RV and onto the shoulder of the opposite end of the road, almost hitting oncoming traffic.

BTW, there are a couple different angles capturing the action here ... and it's totally insane.

The man was taken to the hospital, and the extent of his injuries isn't entirely clear. Now, as for how exactly this could've happened in the first place -- an eyewitness is quoted as claiming that the driver fell asleep, and that the man who was shot out was her hubby.

If true, the lesson here obviously is ... buckle up. But, by the same token ... wake up!
