A 17-year-old girl died after being bitten by a shark while swimming off a beach in the north of Brisbane. The attack marks Australia’s third fatal shark incident in just over five weeks.
Emergency responders arrived at Woorim Beach on Bribie Island, a popular tourist destination, on Monday afternoon following reports of a shark bite. Paramedics attempted to treat the teenager who had sustained critical injuries to her upper body, but she succumbed to her wounds, police confirmed.
