A large shark killed a 35-year-old man near Michaelmas Island, off the coast of Albany, Australia. According to local media, the man was practicing underwater fishing with his family when he was attacked by a specimen measuring approximately 4.5 meters.
In a statement, police said emergency services were alerted following reports of a possible shark attack and that the man was brought to shore by boat, where he was cared for by paramedics for more than two hours. Authorities have warned residents of the area (which is about 375 kilometers south-east of Perth) to take extra care and abide by any beach access bans issued by park rangers or local lifeguards.
