Erica Fox, a 55-year-old triathlete, is presumed dead after disappearing Sunday during a swim off the California coast and is feared to have been attacked by a shark.
Fox, described as an “exceptional swimmer” and founder of the Kelp Krawlers swim club, was participating in a group swim at Lovers Point in Pacific Grove around noon when a witness noticed a “large splash,” raising fears of a shark encounter, according to KSBW.
