A 39-year-old man dies after a shark attack off Far North Queensland, according to multiple reports. Emergency services respond after the incident is reported around midday on Sunday. Several outlets say the man is bitten while in or near the water and is pulled from the sea before being taken for medical treatment, but he dies shortly afterward. The BBC and other Australian coverage describe the attack as occurring off Queensland’s north-east coast, with the location variously reported as near the Cassowary Coast and at or around Kennedy Shoal. Kennedy Shoal is described by some sources as a shallow reef roughly 50km off the Queensland coast between Cairns and Townsville. The Guardian and Al Jazeera report that the man was reportedly fishing at Kennedy Shoal when emergency services were alerted. Across the coverage, authorities treat the incident as an apparent shark attack and continue to investigate, while locals are advised to exercise caution in the area. No details are consistently reported about the type of shark or the precise circumstances leading up to the attack.
