Photographs have revealed the frantic moment rescuers desperately tried to save a Canadian tourist who suffered fatal injuries when a breached whale hit her boat in Mexico. Jennifer Carren (right in wedding photo), 35, passed away in hospital after the whale collided with her boat in the Sea of Cortez off Cabo San Lucas on Wednesday. This as her husband Trevor (circled left) was forced to look on while workers tried to save her life.
