FELIPE BRAMUCCI – A 57 man died on Saturday (6) after a shark attack in northern Sydney, Australia. Despite being rescued from the water, the surfer lost both legs and died on the beach.
According to Sky News Australia, the sirens fired and scared the bathers on Long Reef beach. The emergency teams were called.
The incident occurred between the beaches of Dee Why and Long Reef -the first is equipped with protective nets, and the second, no.
“He was rescued from the waves and taken to the beach; however, he died at the scene,” confirmed the New Wales of Southern police in a statement.
According to the authorities, the shark started a piece of the surf board. The expertise will analyze the board, and the Department of Primary Industries will determine the species of shark involved in the accident.
With the tragedy, Northern Beaches Police Office officials isolated the region. The beaches of Manly and Narrabeen were also temporarily closed.
The latest fatal attack on Sydney took place in 2022. At the time, diving instructor Simon Nellist was killed by a white shark in Little Bay.
Due to the attack, the Surf Life Saving NSW Championship canceled all activities on the nearby beaches this weekend.
