A young German tourist has died in a hospital in Maui, Hawaii, one week after she lost her right arm in a horrific shark attack. Lana Lutteropp, 20, had been on life support and in 'very critical condition' at Maui Memorial Medical Center since she was pulled from the water last Wednesday by a heroic teacher who heard her screams. 'Jana fought hard to stay alive. However, we are sad to say that she lost her fight today,' her family said in a statement on Wednesday. Lutteropp was snorkeling 100 yards off Palauea Beach in Makena when a shark attacked and bit off her arm.
