A man died after he was attacked by a shark in waters off Australia’s tropical northeast coast on Nov. 6, police said, the third attack in the popular tourist region in the last two months.
The 33-year-old Australian man was paddle boarding and then swimming off a chartered yacht in the Whitsunday Islands’ Cid Harbour when he was bitten by a shark at around 5:30 p.m. on Nov. 5, police said. The man suffered severe injuries in his legs and arm, and was resuscitated before being transferred to Mackay Base Hospital, Queensland Police Inspector Steve O'Connell said.
