A shark killed a man who was fishing off the coast of Western Australia, police said on Saturday.
The attack occurred off the state's south coast at Michaelmas Island, close to the town of Albany, about 390 kilometers (240 miles) south of the state capital, Perth, while the man was spearfishing with his family, according to the police.
He was taken ashore, where paramedics treated him. "Sadly, he was unable to be revived," they said.
State authorities reported that a 4.5-meter (14.8 feet) shark of unknown species was spotted by a member of the public near Michaelmas Island on Saturday.
