As a young teacher fights for her life after a shark attack, her brother is praising heroic beachgoers and medical professionals for rescuing her.
Leah Stewart has had her arm amputated after being bitten by a suspected great white shark while swimming in between the flags and close to shore at Coogee beach on Saturday.
On Tuesday afternoon, she remained in hospital in ICU in a critical condition, having been through a number of surgeries including the arm amputation, with multiple more procedures needed as she continues her battle.
