Not a ray of light then

MARATHON, Florida -- A woman was killed by a ray off the Florida Keys today morning when the barb-tailed animal jumped out of the water into her boat, officials said.

The victim, a 55-year-old tourist from Michigan whom authorities have not yet named, was on a boat with her family off Marathon when the ray jumped out of the water. She died either from falling over and hitting her head or from a wound from the animal's barbed tail, said Jorge Pino, spokesman for the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission.
