By Jerry Huster

Jul. 5th, 2005 -- LARGO, MD -- A woman died while riding a water slide at Six Flags America's Hurricane Harbor waterpark on Monday afternoon. The cause of death is unclear, but is suspected to be unrelated to the ride.

Prince Georges County Fire and Rescue Spokesman Mark Brady said the woman was found unconscious and in cardiac arrest at the end of one of the park's water slides, but they don't believe she had drowned.

Lifeguards were already performing CPR when paramedics were called to the park around 6:15pm. The woman was taken to a local hospital where she was pronounced dead.

Brady said she was on a water slide called "Shark Attack".
