A young boy who was bitten by a shark in Sydney Harbour last week has died in hospital.
Twelve-year-old Nico Antic had been jumping off a rock ledge with friends on 18 January when he was attacked by what authorities suspected was a bull shark.
"We are heartbroken to share that our son, Nico has passed away," his parents Lorena and Juan said in a statement.
The incident was one of four reported shark attacks along the New South Wales coast over two days.
"Nico was a happy, friendly, and sporty young boy with the most kind and generous spirit. He was always full of life and that's how we'll remember him," his family, who were originally from Argentina, added.
