A police officer stands by the covered body of a bodyboarder killed by a shark on a beach in Saint-Andre on the French Reunion Island in the Indian Ocean on Tuesday. The 26 year-old man was attacked by a shark while bodyboarding in a dangerous area off Saint-Andre. The man had his femoral artery cut and bled to death, according to firefighters. It was the 20th recorded shark attack on the island since 2011, eight of which have been fatal, despite efforts by local authorities to install nets and warn locals and tourists about the danger.SD-Agencies |
