A 39-year-old man dies after a shark attack near Australia’s Great Barrier Reef, police and officials say. Reports describe the incident occurring around Kennedy Shoal, a shallow reef off Queensland in northeast Australia, about 28 miles (45 km) from the coast. The man is reportedly attacked while fishing, and others are present on a small boat in the area. An ambulance meets the man after the attack, but he dies shortly afterward, according to a spokesperson quoted in one account. Authorities do not consistently identify the victim in the coverage. Multiple outlets also frame the incident as the second fatal shark attack in Australia within the same month. While details of the circumstances leading up to the attack are limited across the reports, the accounts converge on the location near Kennedy Shoal, the victim’s age, and the fatal outcome following emergency response.
