A shark in Australia has attacked and likely killed a man after repeatedly biting the victim and dragging him underwater. Eyewitnesses reported that the shark returned to the victim three times — an atypical behavior in what was already a rare attack.
Simon Baccanello, a 46-year-old teacher, was surfing off the coast of South Australia on May 14 when he vanished. He was one of a dozen surfers in the water at the time. One bystander, Jaiden Miller, who witnessed the attack, told the Adelaide Advertiser, “I saw his board tombstoning, which means he's underwater and his board's getting dragged under … trying to fight his way back up to the surface.
