Floros was spearfishing during a break from filming off Saona Island. Authorities and production company AcunMedya said Floros was “diving without a surface marker buoy in an area frequented by tourist vessels” when a boat “accidentally struck him.”
Reports confirm Floros “sustained severe injuries to his legs from the vessel’s outboard engine propellers, including a partial amputation of the left leg and significant trauma to the right ankle.”
