The Mail has learned that former Rosebud resident 26-year-old Anna Hudson died after being swept out to sea in Cancun.
Anna, the daughter of Art and Bonita Hudson, on Wednesday was in the Mexican resort town to celebrate a friend’s wedding this coming week. She was swimming at the resort front beach with friends when she got in trouble with a riptide, attempts were made to save her and they were unsuccessful.
The search by Fire and Rescue services on Wednesday was called off after four hours due to worsening weather conditions.
Anna’s body was discovered the next day about a kilometre further down the beach.
Anna graduated from Standard School in 2006 and studied at University of Alberta to become mining engineer. She was living and working Fort McMurray for KMC Mining as a P.Eng.
