Woman pulled from water off Honeymoon Island

DUNEDIN -- Paramedics transported a 69-year-old woman to the hospital after she was found face down in the water off Honeymoon Island State Park.

Suzanne Kunis was at the beach with her husband and friends when she went swimming about 7 p.m. Then her husband, Mark Farber, saw her floating face down helped pull her to shore.

Dunedin Fire Chief Bill McElligott said Kunis was transported to Mease Dunedin Hospital. McElligott said there didn't seem to be a problem with rip tide or other surf conditions.

"They're doing everything they can for her," McElligott said.

Kunis was critically injured, the sheriff's office said.
