Man dies after shark attack at Sydney beach
A man attacked by a large shark at a Sydney beach has died of his injuries, police said on Saturday, September 6, the first such incident in more than 3-1/2 years, which prompted the closure of several beaches.
The man, who is yet to be identified, was 57 years old and an experienced surfer. He was attacked just after 10 a.m. at Long Reef Beach, in the north of the capital of the Australian state of New South Wales, police said.
He was pulled from the water by other surfers but had lost too much blood and died at the scene, police said. It was not yet known what species of shark was responsible for the attack, which prompted Saturday's beach closures, authorities said.
The death is the first in a shark attack in Australia's most populous city since a swimmer killed off a beach in February 2022 became Sydney's first such fatality since 1963.
