A 76-year-old woman is hospitalized after collapsing at SeaWorlds Discovery Cove.
The park says the woman was in one of the park's lagoons and started having trouble breathing.
Lifeguards rushed the woman out of the water, and immediately began CPR after she fell unconscious.
Discovery Cove workers say the woman suffers from hypertension, and do not believe any animals or foul play at the park triggered her medical condition.
But the entire incident created some tense moments for tourists at the park.
The woman was taken to Sand Lake Hospital. We are told that doctors are closely monitoring her condition which they say has not yet stabilized.**********
Prayers to her & family, as I am sure this was a terrifying situation - I am glad that the lifeguards at DC are well trained....
